The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), under the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), is organising Webinar 3.0 of the IGBC Green New Buildings Version 4.0 Webinar Series on 19 November 2026. The online session will focus on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and its practical application in the built environment, exploring how environmental impacts associated with buildings can be assessed and reduced throughout their life cycle.
Titled “Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in Practice – Bridging Theory, Technology & Implementation,” the webinar aims to strengthen participants’ understanding of LCA fundamentals, assessment methodologies, technological tools and implementation challenges. The discussion will highlight the importance of evaluating the environmental impacts of building materials, design decisions, construction processes and building operations in advancing sustainable and low-carbon construction practices.
The programme will feature two technical sessions:
Session 1: Understanding LCA: Fundamentals, Frameworks & Methodologies
The first session will introduce the fundamental concepts of Life Cycle Assessment, including its frameworks, methodologies and applications in the built environment. It will be delivered by Mr. Harish Borah, Founder, OnePointFive.in.
Session 2: Beyond Theory: Challenges in LCA Software & Assessment
The second session will examine the practical challenges associated with LCA software and assessment processes, focusing on the technological aspects and implementation requirements. The session will be delivered by Ms. Asphia Taimur, Associate Counsellor, CII-IGBC.
Key areas of discussion will include the fundamentals and applications of LCA, assessment of embodied and operational environmental impacts, LCA tools and technologies, and data-driven approaches to building decarbonisation.
The webinar is intended for architects, urban planners, green building professionals, sustainability consultants, researchers, students and other stakeholders interested in sustainable construction and environmental performance assessment.
By connecting theoretical frameworks with practical implementation, the session seeks to promote informed decision-making and encourage the adoption of life cycle-based approaches towards creating environmentally responsible buildings.
