Times change. Raw materials are becoming scarcer, emissions are on the increase and many
cultures in various parts of the world are undergoing major changes. Against this backdrop,
careful use of resources is gaining in importance all the time. Audi is helping to make this change
— true to the technical leadership implied in its classic motto 'Vorsprung durch Technik’. Modern
technologies, new materials and highly efficient components are available to optimise vehicle
design. For Audi, as a pioneer in vehicle development, progress in the careful use of non-
renewable resources is a task that involves every area of its activities. Life cycle assessments
(LCA) are important procedures that can help to reduce the motor vehicle's impact on the
environment. Audi not only assesses the vehicle while it is in use, which mainly concerns its fuel
consumption, but the entire life cycle from production to recycling. Audi looks one step ahead.
The life cycle assessment analyses the effects of a product on the environment during its entire
existence, from production to its period of use and its end-of-life recycling. It is a quantitative
evaluation of ecological aspects such as the emission of greenhouse gases (including carbon
dioxide [CO2]), energy consumption, acidification or ‘summer smog'. Audi compiles its life cycle
assessments according to the procedure laid down in the international ISO 14040 series of
standards.
Development phase: assessment of materials and semi-finished product manufacturing chains
Production phase: assessment of components and complete vehicles
Use phase: assessment of fuel/electricity (including production)
Recycling phase: assessment of process chains of valuable materials

Sustainable architecture and green design have become one of the most widespread areas of
focus in the scholarly studies related to build environments. Accordingly, with view to the
environmental assessment and energy performance of buildings, it is vital to develop an overview
of current theoretical perspectives, trends, applications and constraints towards the development
of green environmentally sustainable buildings. To confirm that, previous studies put forward a
theory representing that the performance of green buildings is substantially related to the level of
their environmental assessment, thus, versatile studies highlight the necessity of the identification
