The goal of this analysis is to quantify the area with optimal levels of natural light exposure (not excessive) to ensure the required lighting levels, prevent glare, and eliminate or minimize the use of electric lighting.

The objectives to evaluate with this tool during the design phase are as follows:

  • Control heat gains during the summer through windows.

  • Control heat losses during the winter through windows.

  • Provide a good visual balance.

  • Provide a comfortable environment.

 
 

Building Life Cycle Assessment

Whole Building Life-Cycle Assessment (WBLCA) is a scientific methodology that evaluates the environmental impacts of a building throughout all stages of its life cycle: from raw material extraction, manufacturing, and transportation to construction, use, maintenance, and final disposal. This analysis is key to measuring and reducing both embedded carbon and operational carbon, which together represent the total environmental impact of a building.

WBLCA is widely recognized in sustainable building certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB, and is mandatory in various international regulations aimed at limiting embedded carbon in construction projects.

 
 

Product Environmental Declarations

A Product Environmental Declaration (EPD) is a standardized and verifiable report that transparently communicates the environmental impact of a product or material throughout its life cycle. Based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), an EPD evaluates key categories such as:

  • Global warming potential (carbon footprint)

  • Soil and water acidification

  • Eutrophication

  • Smog formation

  • Human health toxicity

EPDs are designed to meet international standards such as ISO 14025, ISO 14040/14044, and EN 15804, ensuring consistency and credibility in environmental evaluation. They are valid for a period of up to 5 years and are widely used in sustainable construction projects.
