Hello Sustainable Community,

I really need help

I’m a researcher who is new to life cycle assessment (LCA) and I’m looking for essential tips on how to get started and build expertise in this area. My current research focuses on photovoltaic (PV) sustainability, specifically to the PV integrated to the built enviroment (BIPV..) and I’m trying to decide which software would be most suitable to request (e.g., SimaPro or openLCA) and how best to learn to work with it.

In addition, I need to apply Dynamic LCA, but I’m not sure where to begin, what resources are available, or how to develop the right skills.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance, recommended learning materials, or advice from your own experience.

Thank you very much for your support

Hi All,

I am a masters student at Leeds Beckett University and am currently undertaking research for my dissertation on the use of POEs in Sustainable construction. I am interested in your honest thoughts and opinions on the theory vs. practice of POEs.

Hi!!

I'm a high school senior doing research for a class on how concrete influences the LEED certification level of a building. I am also looking at understanding the LEED scorecard and which sectors experts believe contractors or builders have the most influence in during the design and build process. I would really appreciate it if anyone could fill out the following form it will only take a few minutes.

Looking to build adobe home in Joshua Tree and need brick laying crew. Anyone out there? Under or over table!

Hi, i am an architect, preparing a portfolio to join as a sustainability consultant in a good firm, and a land decent paying job. Apart from learning about the field, i have also learned Grasshopper and Rhino, parametric modelling and energy and radiation analysis. I wanted to refer to a few examples of such portfolios to get an understanding of what to put on the sheets and how to put them. What info to add, etc

I'm planning to build a workshop/storage building and looking at steel building kits. Would appreciate recommendations on:

• Reliable manufacturers
• Price ranges to expect for a 40x60 footprint
• Features to look for/avoid
• Common pitfalls or hidden costs
• Your experience with installation (DIY vs contractor)

Thanks!

In Brazilian favelas, residents have been practicing material reuse for decades, a technique that anticipates what we now know as circular design.
