The construction industry plays a significant role in global warming, accounting for 42% of primary energy use and 39% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has emerged as key methodology evaluating environmental impacts throughout building’s life cycle, yet its integration the early design phase remains limited. This review aims to examine strategies tools incorporating LCA enhance sustainability building construction. objectives this study are: (1) identify main challenges integrating into workflows, (2) analyze compare suitable early-stage assessments, (3) explore emerging trends technological advancements. A systematic literature was employed using Scopus database existing literature, identifying current practices, challenges, advancements implementation. total 56 studies were identified review. results highlight growing adoption Building Information Modeling (BIM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), parametric modeling streamlining integration. Despite these advancements, barriers such data scarcity, lack standardization, interoperability issues persist. Key findings suggest that simplified computational can improve accessibility real-time decision-making during design. concludes enhancing availability, refining methodologies, fostering collaboration between architects, engineers, policymakers are crucial mainstreaming sustainable provides actionable insights bridge gap goals decisions framework, ultimately supporting more environmentally responsible industry.
