Journal Article
Moncaster, A. M., Pomponi, F., Symons, K. E., & Guthrie, P. M. (2018). Why method matters: Temporal, spatial and physical variations in LCA and their impact on choice of structural system. Energy and Buildings, 173, 389-398

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used as an early-stage design-decision tool to support choices of structural system. However LCA modellers must first make numerous methodological decisions, and the resultant wide variations in approach ar...

Book Chapter
Baker, H., & Moncaster, A. (2018). Adaptation and demolition in a masterplan context. In S. J. Wilkinson, & H. Remøy (Eds.), Building Urban Resilience through Change of Use (57-81). John Wiley and Sons. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119231455.ch4

This chapter explores the range of decisions and the reasons behind them when considering demolition and adaptation on a masterplan site in which multiple buildings are affected. It builds upon existing studies on adaptive reuse and demolition at an... Read More about Adaptation and demolition in a masterplan context.
