There is a growing interest in accounting for the environmental externalities and the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the building industry. This study examines the life cycle environmental impacts of a novel biomass-based aerogel building material manufactured via freeze drying method comprising of three process stages, i.e., gel preparation, aging and freeze drying. The main focus of this study is to evaluate the contribution of each stage to the environmental load using life cycle assessment tool, figure out the main stage that has the greatest impact on the environment and propose some potential improvements by critical analysis of the production process. Life cycle impact scores are quantified as per functional unit of 1...
