As carbon emissions increasingly become a critical metric in shaping sustainable buildings, life cycle assessment (LCA) is emerging as an essential tool for built environment professionals. The final run of SGBC’s course on LCA for Building Projects was held on 14 October 2025 at the Singapore Sustainability Academy. Part of the SGBC Carbon Essentials Course Series, the session equipped more than 20 participants with both foundational knowledge and practical skills to assess the embodied carbon emissions of building projects.
Through a blend of knowledge sharing, case studies and hands-on exercises by SGBC Member One Click LCA, our participants explored how LCA supports better building design and retrofit decisions, as well as gained good insight on the role of environmental product declarations (EPD) towards low-carbon material selection for building projects.
