ABSTRACT:

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used for decision-making in the design process of buildings and neighbourhoods. In this paper, we review the current state of the art in visualising LCA results to provide a structured overview.
The review results show a great variety in visualisation options. By matching them with common LCA goals we provide a structured basis for future developments. Case studies combining different kinds of visualisations within the design environment, interactive dashboards, and immersive technologies, such as virtual reality, show a big potential for facilitating the interpretation of LCA results and collaborative design processes.
The overview and recommendations presented in this paper provide a basis for future development of intuitive and design-integrated visualisation of LCA results to support decision-making.

Highlights:
Detailed review of visualisations in building LCA software and the literature
Classification of visualisation types in relation to LCA goals
Discussion of novel digital visualisation approaches based on BIM and VR
Recommendations for future development of visualisations for LCA
