The environmental impact generated by construction industry can be appreciated when observing related sector data such as: resource/material demand, energy consumption or waste production. Therefore, within the objective of handling industry¿ stakeholders tools that allow reaching the objective of sustainable development, the potential practice on concrete structures of the environmental tool Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was analyzed.
