Life-cycle assessment of alternative envelope construction for a new house in south-western Europe: embodied and operational magnitude

The building envelope is critical to reducing operational energy in residential buildings. Under moderate climates, as in South-Western Europe (Portugal), thermal operational energy may be substantially reduced with an adequate building envelope selection at the design stage; therefore, it is crucia...
