Abstract :
This paper shows the results of applying the LCA (Life cycle assessment) methodology in some actual construction residential buildings, in order to analyze the significance of using different constructions techniques and building materials. It studies three real cases, which have different constructive features. All the studied buildings are designed and built recently by several researchers from the School of Architecture of Seville.
