Based on the guidelines set by ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, the LCA methodology has been applied with available databases and SimaPro program. The results show a considerable consumption of non-renewable energy, intensification of global warming and toxicity to human health. Moreover, this study exposes a necessity of action on the chain of production of steel, cement and ceramic materials mainly. Ceramic materials usage is also a factor the must be observed in detail due its elevated consumption. 2016 artículo científico 0717-7925 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=127647572007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1276 Revista de la Construcción application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Revista de la Construcción (Chile) Num.2 Vol.15 |
