The objective of this EFRI-SEED project is to develop a multi-faceted, dynamic life cycle based framework that quantifies the environmental impacts of buildings and aids in decision-making at multiple scales. In order to accomplish this objective, the researchers will determine the barriers to the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) and evaluate solutions to overcome these obstacles, and, in doing so, advance the fundamental science and ultimate applicability of LCA in the A/E/C (Architecture/Engineering/Construction) communities. The proposed research will have a significant impact on greening buildings within the US due to the synergistic nature of the team, which includes partnerships with major green building organizations, and addressing the needs of green buildings with the development of the proposed LCA method. A task-based approach will be pursued. First, barriers and possible solutions to LCA will be identified through surveys and focus groups with partners, members, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and Pittsburgh's Green Building Alliance (GBA), as well as leveraging information from active case studies. A multifaceted, dynamic life cycle-based method for high-performance buildings, based on the identified barriers and possible solutions will be developed. A scenario building graphic interface "the BUILD dashboard" will be developed. A specific simulation case study, cogeneration, will be used to illustrate the depth of the framework. A culture of evidence will be created in order to demonstrate how the application of the newly developed dynamic LCA will be successful in overcoming the various barriers.The team plans extensive education, outreach, and reporting. The partner case studies will provide real-time data to the dynamic LCA and exemplify multiple levels and perspectives of the breadth and depth required for buildings: Phipps Living Building, a net-zero energy building currently under design (representing a high-level, complete building LCA); the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation, a green building (representing a new existing building); and Carnegie Mellon University's Intelligent Workspace, an established structure (representing a building with existing sensor system and robust data). Cogeneration systems are also a focus of this proposal and the developed models will cross the building types (representing process and material choices and building system LCA). The PIs' plan for education and outreach includes: incorporation of research into the undergraduate and graduate courses; integration in an existing NSF REU site; capitalizing on Co-PI Landis' RET site to incorporate undergraduates and area high school teachers into the proposed research.The FY 2010 EFRI-SEED Topic that supports this project was sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorates for Engineering (ENG), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE), and Computer & Information Science and Engineering in collaboration with the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

EFRI-SEED项目的目标是开发一个多方面的、动态的基于生命周期的框架，量化建筑物的环境影响，并在多个尺度上帮助决策。为了实现这一目标，研究人员将确定使用生命周期评估（LCA）的障碍，并评估克服这些障碍的解决方案，并在此过程中，推进LCA在A/E/C（建筑/工程/施工）社区的基础科学和最终适用性。由于团队的协同作用，拟议的研究将对美国的绿色建筑产生重大影响，其中包括与主要绿色建筑组织的合作伙伴关系，并通过拟议的LCA方法的发展来满足绿色建筑的需求。 将采取基于任务的办法。首先，将通过与合作伙伴、成员、美国绿色建筑理事会和匹兹堡的绿色建筑联盟的调查和焦点小组，以及利用来自积极案例研究的信息，查明生命周期评价的障碍和可能的解决办法。一个多方面的，动态的生命周期为基础的高性能建筑的方法，根据已确定的障碍和可能的解决方案将被开发。将开发一个情景构建图形界面“BUILD仪表板”。 一个具体的模拟案例研究，热电联产，将被用来说明深度的框架。为了证明新开发的动态生命周期评估的应用将如何成功克服各种障碍，将创建一种证据文化。该团队计划开展广泛的教育、宣传和报告。合作伙伴的案例研究将为动态LCA提供实时数据，并从多个层面和角度了解建筑物所需的广度和深度：Phipps Living Building，目前正在设计的净零能耗建筑（代表一个高水平的完整建筑LCA）;马斯卡罗可持续创新中心，一个绿色建筑（代表一个新的现有建筑）;和卡内基梅隆大学的智能工作空间，一个既定的结构（代表一个建筑与现有的传感器系统和强大的数据）。热电联产系统也是该提案的重点，开发的模型将跨越建筑类型（代表工艺和材料选择以及建筑系统LCA）。PI的教育和推广计划包括：将研究纳入本科和研究生课程;整合现有的NSF REU网站;利用Co-PI Landis的RET网站，将本科生和地区高中教师纳入拟议的研究。支持该项目的2010财年EFRI-SEED主题由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）工程理事会（ENG）赞助，数学和物理科学（MPS）和社会，行为和经济科学（SBE），计算机&信息科学与工程与美国能源部（DOE）和美国环境保护署（EPA）合作。
