Systematic literature review of life cycle sustainability assessment system for residential buildings: using bibliometric analysis 2000–2020

Establishing Benchmarks for Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of sustainability criteria’s for performance assessment of group housing projects: in India

“…Establishing several performance benchmarks using conventional LCC [54][6] and social sustainability is the least dimension to be assessed through life cycle stages in literature [38][61]. In the literature there are very few studies suggesting a methodology for establishing benchmarks values comprehensively for both qualitative and quantitative criteria's for sustainability assessment of buildings considering all life cycle stages [12] [13]. Literature includes, this study discusses that benchmarking should be processed for each dimension including each key performance indicator, and a measure system should be established using Statistical process monitoring theory [41].…”

“…The critical criteria's that should be considered by the project stakeholders for a sustainable housing project by the partially grounded theory of sustainable pre-construction stage: are design quality, energy e ciency, site selection, funding, transport, and supply chain [21]. Social, ecological, economic, cultural, architectural, and technical dimensions should be considered for the pre-construction stage of group housing societies [46] [12].…”

“…To achieve sustainability in the construction industry, assessments of the impact caused by human activities at the intergenerational (within the context) and intra-generational (over-building life cycle) are necessary for an in-depth sustainability assessment [69]. This entails a longitudinal and horizontal assessment of sustainability in the building sector [12]. Sustainability assessment includes, how well a building performs in comparison to prede ned benchmark values/standards/regional guidelines, it will receive a certain score for each sustainability criterion.…”

“…Therefore, it is not signi cant to directly apply benchmarks used in the existing GBRS to another typology of construction and regional context. An extensive analysis of the published literature reveals a lack of research focusing on establishing high-rise group housing-speci c benchmarks in India [12]. For this research Group housing is de ned as, multi-story dwellings with more than four (four) building blocks on a single site and common service amenities [18].…”

Examining the endpoint impacts, challenges, and opportunities of fly ash utilization for sustainable concrete construction

“…Several studies have utilized the life cycle analysis (LCA) approach to estimate the benefits of employing fly ash as a building material 19 , 20 . Since 1990, LCA has been used in the construction sector as a critical technique for assessing the environmental effect of materials and the environmental performance of buildings 21 , 22 , as well as for evaluating various construction materials 23 , 24 . Vieira et al 25 performed an environmental assessment of fly ash and slag utilization in self-compacting concrete (SCC), considering strength and service life, and concluded that using slag is preferable.…”
