>From the point of view of climate protection, another important point worth
mentioning is the usage of materials. The current best practice for the
optimisation of emissions throughout the lifetime of a material is based on
life cycle analysis (LCA). It should be part of the application procedure
to supply a basic LCA of the employed materials. The council could
establish a database for materials commonly used in construction to
facilitate this task. It would also be sensible to establish a materials
white-list that provides information about particularly suitable material
choices.
