5 Literature review Methodology Life Cycle of material and Energy systems Alvaro de Gracia et al, This study evaluates the environmental impact of including phase change materials(pcm) in a typical Mediterranean building. R. Azari, Effects of low to medium window to wall ratio and fiberglass window frame results in the impacts on Life Cycle energy and environmental performance of building envelopes. Building Optimization Ehsan Asadi et al., The practicability of the alternative materials for the external walls insulation, roof insulation, different window types and installation of a solar collector in the existing building and highlight potential problems that may arise Christina Diakaki et al The multi-objective decision model of this study allows the examination of a potentially infinite number of alternative measures for building retrofit. Building Life Cycle Optimization Amir Safaei, This research presents a modelling framework to optimize the design and operation of Dg for Portuguese commercial building sector, while considering the Life-Cycle Impact assessment and Life Cycle Costs of meeting the building energy demand. Ayat Osman, The research develope a framework and model to optimize a building s operation by integrating cogeneration systems and utility systems in order to meet building demand by considering the potential life cycle environmental impact that might result from meeting those demand as well as economical implications. 3
