There are already different tools available which have the potential to reach this goal. It is necessary to identify them as suc
3、h and find out how they can be integrated to obtain synergies and contribute to sustainable construction. These tools have to be implemented in early design phases so as to add value to the project. In the present paper, two powerful methods, namely BIM and LCA, will be highlighted. Such methods can
4、 be of great assistance in the context of sustainability. On the one hand, BIM supports integrated design and improves information management and cooperation between the different stakeholders throughout the different project life-cycle phases. On the other hand, LCA is a suitable method for assessi

Both LCA and BIM should be integrated in the decision-making process at an early stage with a view to achieving a holistic overview of the project, including environmental criteria, from the beginning.

6、; Design Phase; Integration; Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); Sustainability 1. Introduction The construction industry is moving towards sustainability. At the same time, the sector is facing new challenges. Costs need to be reduced, while quality has to be improved. In addition, further demands, such as reducing energy and resources consumption, must be met 1. Sustainability is generally described as being based on environmental, social and economic aspects. Ideally, there should be a balan
