It highlights a disconnect between increasingly ambitious skyscraper construction and the lack of practical strategies for demolition or full life cycle planning. Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the research evaluates the environmental impacts of building materials and processes across all stages. It compares structural systems in 60- and 120-story buildings, focusing on Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Embodied Energy (EE), providing both key findings and a methodological framework for future studies in sustainable tall building design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrincipal Authors: Dario Trabucco, Antony Wood, Olivier Vassart, Nicoleta Popa \u0026amp; Donald Davies\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Support: Jason Gabel\u003cbr\u003eLayout: Mattia Mercanzin \u0026amp; Marty Carver\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, Chicago\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2015\u003cbr\u003ePages: 188\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 8.5\"W x 11\"H\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-0-939493-48-7\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Council on Vertical Urbanism","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47848476246167,"sku":"LCA2015","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/7229\/5575\/files\/850_7d4fd407-2af0-40f7-8a08-076e2a0c7b7a.jpg?v=1779916795","url":"https:\/\/shop.cvu.org\/products\/life-cycle-assessment-of-tall-building-structural-systems-digital-1","provider":"Council on Vertical Urbanism","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
