 Building tidings Presented as a Plenary Lecture at Indoor Air '99, The Eighth International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate, Edinburgh, Scotland, August 8-13.Three methods for the integration of IAQ into LCA are described and compared. These methods include three different ways to assess chemical emissions from building materials http://bestex.web44.net and the impacts of these emissions on IAQ. The results show that data and health-based criteria are needed to advance the practice. Evaluation of IAQ in LCAs is no more complex than many tasks already routinely performed by LCA practitioners.
