Abstract
The life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology can be used as a decision-making tool in the sustainable design and construction of buildings. However, there are not many stud ies investigating the use of LCA to compare alternative retrofit interventions on existing struct ures. The objective of the present st udy is to analyze the environmental impact of different replacement options for a typical old wooden roof in an existing building. Th e flooring options have been designed to achieve the same structural performance in terms of load bearing capacity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
