📚Methodologies

This section describes the main design-integrated LCA methodologies available using Bombyx. These methodologies are based on the Swiss KBOB database.

Top-down

This method is useful for early design stages when the construction detailing has not been determined yet, and allows for general overview of the building's embodied impact.

Bottom-up

This method provides the possibility of detailed LCA and parametric element composition by defining the materials layer-by-layer to create the building element.
