Assessment and Selection of External Walls of Buildings Based on Their Environmental Performance ‘From Cradle-to-Cradle’. Silvestre, J., Brito, J., & Pinheiro, M. In Barcelona, October, 2014.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper presents the evaluation of external walls of buildings by assessing their “cradle-to-cradle” (C2C) environmental performance in accordance with recent European standards. Each solution was assessed mainly using site-specific data for each component and considering its location in a building in Portugal. A supplementary approach was used to quantify each environmental aspect on an economic unit. Quantified results for the environ- mental performance C2C (without weighting or aggregation) in six environmental categories is presented for the first time for the 60 alternatives evaluated, along with an analysis of the contribution of each life cycle stage to the C2C environmental costs of each external wall.
