Charting the Future of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment
On Life Cycle Sustainability Unified Analysis
Life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) does not adequately consider the role of stakeholders in the assessment process, rebound effects, how the concept of vulnerability and resilience are related in a life cycle, and how stakeholders’ risk aversion can be applied to life cycle thinking. Life cycle sustainability unified analysis (LiCSUA) is proposed to address these four issues, while incorporating key features of existing LCSA framework cr…
Steel‐versus‐Concrete Debate Revisited
In the study of sustainable building materials, the comparison of the life cycle environmental performance of steel and reinforced concrete has been a popular and important topic. Based in Singapore, this is one of the first studies in the literature that applies both attributional and consequential life cycle approaches to compare the global warming potential and embodied energies of these two materials, which are widely used for the structural …

A New Integrated Framework for Stakeholder Involvement in Sustainability Policymaking – A Multidisciplinary Approach
The importance of involving stakeholders in sustainability policymaking is widely recognized. Current methods of stakeholder involvement in environmental policymaking neither systematically identify stakeholders based on their roles in sustainability nor understand them from a behavioural level; moreover, strategies formulated to address the problems do not explicitly address possible conflicts among different policies. To fill these gaps, an int…
The Consequences of Substituting Sand with Used Copper Slag in Construction
Using waste copper slag (CS) as a replacement for sand in concrete mixture is becoming popular in Singapore and around the world. What are the consequences of this material substitution? Will this result in lower environmental impact? This work used attributional and consequential life cycle assessments to evaluate the net results of replacing sand with CS. Impacts were assessed with respect to embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions (global…

A Comparison of Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for the Construction Industries of Three Coastal Territories
The success of climate change strategies depends on how well mitigation and adaptation measures are implemented. It is especially important to implement effective mitigation and adaptation measures in coastal territories because they will be more directly affected by some of the possible effects of climate change. This study assessed and compared how Singapore, Miami‐Dade and San Francisco – three coastal territories – implement climate change st…
