Comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of precast and cast-in-place buildings in United States

, 2020
Precast construction is one of the growing construction methods for buildings across United States. Many tools have been used to assess environmental and economic impacts of the buildings. LCA and LCCA are one of the most widely used tools to evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of the buildings for their complete life cycle.

Artificial neural networks incorporating cost significant Items towards enhancing estimation for (life-cycle) costing of construction projects

Construction Economics and Building, 2013
Industrial application of life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is somewhat limited, with techniques deemed overly theoretical, resulting in a reluctance to realise (and pass onto the client) the advantages to be gained from objective (LCCA) comparison of (sub)

Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Industrial Warehouses Using Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA)

Advance Sustainable Science Engineering and Technology
Industrial warehouses use inefficient lighting systems that occupy a significant portion of energy consumption and operating expenses. The aim of this study is to attain higher energy efficiency and reduce the lighting cost by replacing conventional high-pressure mercury vapor (HPL-N) lamps with LEDs in a warehouse environment.

Sustainability Assessment of In Situ and Ex Situ Remediation of PFAS‐Contaminated Groundwater

Remediation Journal, Volume 35, Issue 4, Autumn 2025.
ABSTRACT A life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts of two approaches for remediating groundwater contaminated with per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): an in situ injectable sorption barrier using colloidal activated carbon (CAC) and an ex situ pump‐and‐treat (P&T) system utilizing a granular activated ...
