TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a simplified case study of an institutional building and used a dynamic life cycle assessment (DLCA) approach and illustrates the potential importance of the method using a simplified Case Study of an Institutional Building.

TL;DR: In this paper, a framework was developed for integrating indoor environmental quality (IEQ) into life cycle assessment (LCA), which includes three main impact types: 1) chemical-specific impacts directly comparable to conventional life cycle impact assessment human health categories, 2) non-chemical health impacts, and 3) productivity/performance impacts.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of a LEED gold rated university building, supplemented with a post-occupancy evaluation (POE) designed to elicit qualitative feedback on IEQ and productivity impacts specific to the building, is presented.

TL;DR: The results show that, although the NZB performs better in most categories than the conventional building, the water efficient building generally outperforms theNZB and the framework for comparison of water and wastewater impacts of various buildings can be applied during building design to aid decision making.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of using temporally resolved building-level data while capturing the dynamic effects a changing electrical grid has on the life cycle impacts of buildings.
