Life Cycle Assessment, Retrofit, Buildings, Systematic reviewAbstract
The building retrofit process could be a sustainable option for building reuse in the mitigation of the environmental impacts. The aim of this study is a systematic review focused in LCV of retrofitted buildings, looking for the contributions and methods applied. This research analyzes 27 international journals published articles, organized based on case study and systematic reviews. As has been noted, the buildings retrofit make the reuse of existing buildings possible, facilitate the implementation of sustainable strategies and, also, this type of studies boost the development of research in the national scientific scenario.
