Abstract
In order to evaluate the environmental impact of the production, use, and final disposal of building materials and components with the final aim of assessing their adequacy in terms of sustainability, a detailed quantitative registration of the particular associated consumption of resources as well as of their environmental impact is required. This design task is supported by a collection of related LCA data compiled in the Environmental Product Declarations provided by manufacturers and regulated by international norms.
