| dc.description.abstract | Making informed decisions at the earliest stages of the design process can lead to improved building performance. There are many aspects of a building’s design that can influence overall energy consumption. This research identifies air leakage as influential in determining the life cycle impacts of a residential building. This brief presents results from an analysis using the CSHub’s streamlined building life cycle assessment (LCA) tool, the Building Attribute to Impact Algorithm (BAIA). | en_US |
