Using LCA to illustrate the benefits of Blinds as passive and sustainable energy saving products in the domestic environment in the UK
This paper written by Dr Deborah Andrews of London South Bank University and supported by the BBSA.
It evaluates the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which is a tool used to model the environmental impacts of products, to assess four different types of manual blind products, with different product life spans, levels of energy consumption and potential savings during the heating season in order to demonstrate the real benefits of this type of window covering in a UK domestic home.
