Life Cycle Thinking​ For Sustainability-Driven Decision Making

Summary: 
We are facing many interconnected global challenges. Due to the interrelations between these issues, we cannot focus on just one challenge without the threat of externalities in other areas. Rather, we need to step back and identify holistic solutions. Tackling these global challenges requires a shift in mindset. This CEU introduces Life Cycle Thinking as a tool to smarter production and consumption of building products. To be considered truly sustainable, we must consider buildings and building products throughout their entire lifetime. The output of Life Cycle Thinking is holistic products, buildings, and systems that support net positive environmental impact, improve building occupant comfort, and contribute to overall building aesthetic. Each of the life stages should be considered holistically in the upfront design phase.
