Cain CAD provides life cycle assessment services typically for new construction during the design development or construction document phases. A building life cycle assessment (LCA) is a comprehensive evaluation method used to analyze the environmental impact of a building throughout its entire life cycle. This assessment considers the extraction of raw materials, construction processes, energy consumption during the building’s operational phase, and potential impacts of demolition and disposal.
Architects, builders, engineers, owners, and sustainability professionals use building LCAs to quantify factors such as energy use, carbon emissions, resource depletion, and other key environmental indicators. The goal is to make informed decisions to minimize the building’s overall environmental footprint, promote sustainable practices, and contribute to a more environmentally responsible construction and operation process.
