This book provides a single-source reference for whole life embodied impacts of buildings. The comprehensive and persuasive text, written by
over 50 invited experts from across the world, offers an indispensable resource both to newcomers and to established practitioners in the
field. Ultimately it provides a persuasive argument as to why embodied impacts are an essential aspect of sustainable built environments. The
book is divided into four sections: measurement, including a strong emphasis on uncertainty analysis, as well as offering practical case studies
of individual buildings and a comparison of materials; management, focusing in particular on the perspective of designers and cont...
