The Need for Life-Cycle Assessment in Buildings Although LCA has been widely used in the building sector since 1990‚ and is an important tool for assessing buildings [29]‚ it is less developed than in other industries‚ including perhaps the engineering and infrastructure sector. The building industry‚ governments‚ designers and researchers of buildings are all affected by the trend of sustainable production and eco-green strategies. The importance of obtaining environment-related product information

emphasis on measuring the ecological impacts in hopes of reducing them. A multitude of tools have since been created to measure efficiency in hopes to highlight areas for improvement‚ of which the ISO standard and Life cycle assessment are part of. Undoubtedly‚ many companies have adopted life cycle analysis (LCA) in order to assess and reduce their product’s impact on the environment. The fashion industry‚ at its core‚ is based on the notion of continual consumption of the ‘new’ and the discard of the

product life cycle: introduction‚ growth‚ maturity‚ and decline (Figure 1). Introduction The introduction stage of the product life cycle is where a new product is launched into a market. Often the product will have little or no competitors at this point. Nonetheless‚ sales may remain low because it takes time for the market to accept the new product. At this stage of the life cycle‚ the company usually loses money on the product. Growth In the growth stage of the product life cycle‚ the market

The product life cycle theory is used to comprehend and analyze various maturity stages of products and industries. Product innovation and diffusion influence long-term patterns of international trade. This term product life cycle was used for the first time in 1965‚ by Theodore Levitt in an Harvard Business Review article: "Exploit the Product Life Cycle". Anything that satisfies a consumer’s need is called a ’product’. It may be a tangible product (clothes‚ crockery‚ cars‚ house‚ gadgets) or

Stages in the Product Life Cycle Abstract This paper defines and discusses in depth the four stages in the Product Life Cycle. Most successful products pass through these four stages which are Introduction‚ Growth‚ Maturity and Decline and the following will help to distinguish the transition between each stage while presenting their differing components. Additionally‚ it will display the direction in which companies take when faced with being in each varying stage. An understanding of the outcome

To do this‚ designers must consider the environmental impact of materials‚ energy and toxicity across an e–product’s entire life cycle. The product life cycle begins when raw materials are extracted from the earth and ends when the materials from the products are reused‚ recycled‚ recovered
