Among LCA studies for buildings in Japan, there is a study continuing since 1990 by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ), based on which the AIJ-LCA tool was worked out. Based on it, we have, further, developed an assessment tool (AIJ-LCA/LCW tool) that is designed to estimate resource sustainability for buildings. For such purposes, this study intends to introduce the life cycle resource (LCR) and life cycle waste (LCW) indices in order to evaluate the sustainability of resources. This report gives an outline of these add-ons to the AIJ-LCA tool, and presents LCR and LCW assessments for the model building.
