Why method matters: Temporal, spatial and physical variations in LCA and their impact on choice of structural system (2018)
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...

Design and construction strategies for reducing embodied impacts from buildings – Case study analysis (2018)
Journal Article
Malmqvist, T., Nehasilova, M., Moncaster, A., Birgisdottir, H., Nygaard Rasmussen, F., Houlihan Wiberg, A., & Potting, J. (2018). Design and construction strategies for reducing embodied impacts from buildings – Case study analysis. Energy and Buildings, 166, 35-47. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.01.033

The dominance of operational energy and related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of most existing buildings is decreasing in new construction, when primary fossil energy of building operation decreases as result of the implementation of energy efficien...
