Top 10 Structural Sustainability FAQs Answered by LCA

The Structural Engineering Institute's committee on sustainability has put together 10 answers to frequently asked questions about sustainability as it relates to structural engineering, and as it incorporates life cycle assessment.

From their blog post:

Despite the wealth of information now available about using life cycle assessment (LCA) as a sustainable design tool, straightforward answers to some basic questions can be difficult to find. The SEI Sustainability Committee’s LCA working group has prepared answers to ten of the most frequently asked questions by conscientious structural engineers.

Throughout the month of April, more of the 10 answers will come online, so be sure to check back often.  If you don't see a question that you need answered, please put in your vote for question 10 in the comment section.  

The SEAW sustainability committee will discuss this presentation of material at our meeting on April, 24th.
