Life cycle thinking in construction is now more important than ever. Architects and engineers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in making buildings better by taking a holistic, long-range view – not just in costs and energy performance, but in environmental impacts as well.

Buildings, roads, dams, electrical grids… are with us for a very long time and linked to the success and failure of just about everything… education, health, national security, transportation, habitat, sustainability, national and local economies and more. That said, we are not acting as stakeholders of our built infrastructure.
