[Bldg-sim] carbon footprinting of building materials

[David Carroll]

Hey Ramana,
I used BEES for my Master's Thesis.  It does have limitations, mostly its small material library, but it does utilize an accepted LCA database (SimaPro).  It's also a free download, which is nice.

Dear all,

>From all those out there who are basing their building material and specifications decisions on Lifecycle Analysis/carbon footprinting, I'm curious to know what tools you have been using and the challenges you have faced.


I'm also interested in references of consultants who can aid in such an effort.

Thanks,
