Life Cycle Evaluation of Building Materials, Buildings and Energy Technologies
Buildings and the technologies they contain play a crucial role in the transition towards a sustainable built environment. The built environment, including homes, buildings, energy services, streets, public spaces and transportation infrastructure, has a significant impact on climate change, energy consumption and the depletion of natural resources.
Assessing Sustainability Across the Entire Life Cycle
At EnergyVille, we develop and apply next-generation sustainability assessment methodologies for buildings, building materials, technical equipment and renewable energy systems. Our goal is to make these solutions more environmentally friendly, circular and economically viable.
Advanced Assessment Methodologies
We evaluate sustainability at different scale levels using methodologies such as:
-
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
-
Life Cycle Costing (LCC)
-
Circularity assessment
These methods provide valuable insights into the environmental impact, costs and circularity of materials, products, buildings and energy systems throughout their entire life cycle.
From Insights to Action
We use the results of these assessments to develop new technological insights, methodologies and decision-support tools. In addition, we help companies improve product development and strengthen their marketing strategies through evidence-based sustainability insights.
Supporting Better Decisions
Our research also supports decision-making at regional, national and European level. By providing reliable data and robust assessment methods, we help policymakers, industry and other stakeholders make informed choices that contribute to a more sustainable and circular built environment.
Discover how our projects for buildings and districts are driving the energy transition. Together with our partners, we develop innovative solutions for sustainable and energy-efficient communities.
