Life cycle assessment of an intermodal steel building unit Ocena trajnostnega cikla intermodulne jeklene gradbene enote

To minimize and in the near future eventually eliminate the negative environmental impacts, such as emissions, waste, energy and excessive raw material consumption, the life cycle assessment of buildings is essential. This paper provides an insight in environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of a typical intermodal steel building unit (ISBU).
