Add to ORKGThe choice between different materials and constructive systems can influence significantly the environmental impact and cost of construction. In this context, four constructive systems used in Portugal were studied: one conventional - composed by brick walls and steel reinforced post and beam concrete slabs; and three non-conventional - light steel framing (LSF); wood frame (WF); and insulation concrete form (ICF). Using a case study based on a contemporary Portuguese typical dwelling, some environmental impact indicators, as well as the weight and the economic cost of these solutions were evaluated
