An Introduction to LCCA and LCA – The Tools of the Trade for Life Cycle Thinking

Life cycle thinking provides a framework for understanding the economic and environmental aspects of a product over its complete life cycle. The pavement community commonly uses life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) to understand agency costs and user costs throughout the entire life cycle of a pavement. Agencies and other stakeholders are also starting to use life cycle assessments (LCAs) to quantify the potential environmental impacts of pavement designs at both an individual project level and a network level. This webinar will provide an overview of LCCA and LCA, with a focus on how these tools are applied to pavements to aid decision-making.

Takeaways:
- Understand the concept of life cycle thinking in terms of pavement design and asset management.
- Learn how LCCA is used to quantify owner costs and user costs for pavement projects.
- Learn how LCA can inform the environmental benefits and tradeoffs associated with decisions related to pavement materials, design, construction, and maintenance strategies.
