Project Details
Description
This project develops practical guidelines for the implementation of Doughnut Economics principles in urban development projects. The main output of this project, a series of manuals, is aimed primarily at developers. The work at Aalborg University has focused primarily on how LCA can be used to assess a building's absolute sustainability in relation with the planetary boundaries, and how to assess the environmental benefits of a circular use of building materials.
