Abstract
A number of studies on application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for evaluation of environmental loads and standardizaion are now being conducted worldwide in the industrial production.
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) method have been applied for the environmental evaluation of infrastructure. however, EIA methods are limited to the regional environment, whereas LCA can deal with broader range of impacts both spacewise and timewise. Introducing LCA methods to civil engineering is increasingly drawing attention for this reason.
In this study we've made a trial of Life Cycle Inventory of a waste water treatment facility. The research objects are mainly to extract problems in making an inventory and discuss about thesolutions, and to build up any data and information usable for LCA application in civil engineering field. We've chosen CO2 generation as an environmental load.
