Introduction

This web page is developed by LCA Center Association during ERASMUS+ „Spreed of Innovation Solution on Sustainable Construction” project. Most people have very limited knowledge of environmental impacts and their causes. The project would like to fill this gap by means of online and offline education materials. These should be easy to use and understand to improve users’ background knowledge and environmental awareness. The content will include easy-to-read concept descriptions, practical examples for non-experts, suggestions, best practices and even potential cost-saving solutions.
