  1. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  2. Sustainable construction Environmental Efficient use of resources: water, energy, land, materials Reduce, reuse and recycle Economical Higher market value Lower operating costs Slower depreciation Social Health and comfort Durable and resilience infrastructure
  3. Sustainable construction USA: sustainable construction market growth: 8X
  4. Sustainable construction USA: growing market despite the 2008 economical crisis
  5. Sustainable construction Panamá Capital financiero (26/02/2013) Green Buildings will increase with act 69 To date, more than 40 projects are in the process of obtaining LEED certification, 7 already have been certified Colombia CCCS - Report: 25/07/2013 109 projects registered for LEED in Colombia …21 of them certified and nine with gold seal. Incolmotosheadquarters in certification process Dormitorios Ciudad del Saber, LEED Platinum
  6. Sustainable construction & Life Cycle Assessement Green labels Life Cycle Assessment Sustainable construction ~ ~ Global warming Energy use Ozone depletion Smog Acidification potential Eutrophication potential Water use
  7. What is Life Cycle Assessment? grave cradle Cradle to gate Cradle to cradle Cradle to grave gates
  8. Idea origin Environmental policy USA: Eco-efficiency analysis Colombia, Caribe: Carbon footprint Technical Environmental Direction Regions Method to analyze the environmental performance of new products and processes R&D
  9. To what end? To incorporate the LCA methodin our planning and decision-making processes for the development of products and processes. To create value for our customers by providing quality information that allows them to improve and demonstrate the environmental performance of their projects. To improve the environmental performance of our products.
  10. Analyzed products
  11. Boundaries, processes and inventory analysis Clinkerization
  12. Boundaries, processes and inventory analysis Cementgrinding
  13. Boundaries, processes and inventory analysis
  14. Impacts assessment Other impacts: Ozone depletion Smog Acidification potential Eutrophication potential Water use
  15. Boundaries, processes and inventory analysis
  16. Impacts assessment Other impacts: Energy demand Ozone depletion Smog Acidification potential Eutrophication potential Water use
  17. Results use in applications Preliminary analysis, does not correspond to a full LCA of the building
  18. Results use in applications Cement and concrete mechanical properties Structural design Structure complies with structural and environmental requirements Structure complies with structural requirements Project LCA Cement and concrete Life Cycle Assessment
  19. Achievements and expectations A scientific method to measure the environmental performance of our products and identify levers for improvement. LCA: a tool to growth Argos market share in sustainable construction. Launching "industrialization“ phase, analysis of new products and plants according to the market needs: some U.S. customers already requesting this type of information for LEED projects.
