Economical and Ecological Aspects of Building Construction

Ecological Aspects

The production of building materials contributes to the green house gas emission and therefore to climate change. The use of ecological materials can help to reduce this influence. This section provides information about the green house gas emission of building materials. It explains the concept of Life Cycle Assessment of different materials.

Economical Aspects

This section introduces affordable building projects, cost of building constructions and Life Cycle Cost calculations.
