Abstract
Bourgogne district have been working for 5 years to bring LCA into general
practice in the building field. They began in 2009 to conduct a substantive
work which fitted with current needs at that time: a database of
environmental impacts of generic building products for French market. The
second step of the project was for Bourgogne district to discuss the method
with stakeholders. The outcomes of discussion indicate the need to enter a
third step (under way) aiming at improving the database. All data are
implemented into e-LICCO, a LCA software used by building professionals.
This experience shows how a political decision maker, Bourgogne district,
succeeds in fostering the development of life-cycle optimized buildings
involving stakeholders in the process.
