“…At the time of writing, the current best practice for normalization and valuation is still very much under debate (Hofstetter 1998;Finnveden et al 1997;Grahl and Schmincke 1996). Examples exist demonstrating the use of normalization in European situations with European normalization databases, whereas a comparable U.S. normalization database is not yet available.…”

O livro "Desenvolvimento Urbano Sustentável: produção e qualificação do ambiente construído no Brasil" traz um conjunto de reflexões com enfoques complementares sobre a produção e qualificação do ambiente construído no país, buscando abarcar a complexidade do debate em torno e sobre a ideia de sustentabilidade no desenvolvimento urbano, sobretudo face ao tema da produção habitacional de interesse social. O conteúdo da publicação aborda distintas escalas e dimensões que envolvem a política habitacional brasileira na segunda década do século XXI, atravessando diferentes etapas de sua formulação, implementação e avaliação, inclusive com vistas a proposições, perpassando conceitos e categorias, construídos por especialidades distintas e diferentes campos do conhecimento, pertinentes à promoção de melhorias habitacionais com conforto ambiental de modo eficiente e sustentável.

“…Weighting factors are formulated by nonscientific weighting schemes based on values or opinions and continues to remain one of the most contentious issues within LCA. ( − ) While panel methods seem to be one of the most common selections for determining the weighting factors that represent a group's perspective, during discus sions about this topic at a workshop in 2000, none of the experts present could recommend a single example of a valuation exercise which could be used as a model for others ().…”

The impact assessment phase of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has received much criticism due to lack of consistency. While the ISO standards for LCA did make great strides in advancing the consensus in this area, ISO is not prescriptive, but has left much room for innovation and therefore inconsistency. To address this lack of consistency, there is currently an effort underway to provide a conceptual framework for Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) and a recommended practice to include a list of impact categories, category indicators, and underlying methodologies. This is an enormous undertaking, especially in light of the current fundamental lack of consensus of the basic elements to be included in a LCIA (e.g., impact categories, impacts, and areas of protection). ISO 14042 requires selection of impact categories that "reflect a comprehensive set of environmental issues" related to the system being studied, especially for "comparative assertions" that involve public marketing claims. To be comprehensive, it is necessary to have a listing of impacts that "could" be included within the LCIA before entering into discussions of impacts that "should" be included. In addition to providing a critical analysis of existing and emerging impact assessment approaches, this paper will formulate a structured representation that allows more informed selection of approaches. The definitions and relationships between midpoint, endpoint, damage, and areas of protection will be presented in greater detail, along with the equations that are common to many of the approaches. Finally, a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of displaying results at various stages in the environmental models will be presented in great detail.
