Life cycle assessment of the Aquatic Ecosystems Research Laboratory

This study is completed as the final report for the undergraduate civil engineering course CIVL 498C: Life Cycle Assessment. It is one of many building LCA studies completed as part of the larger UBC LCA Database Project. While significant development on this study was done by a previous author in 2009, this study represents the most complete compilation for product and construction process LCA results for the AERL building.
