Abstract
With the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, the application of green building materials in the field of construction is increasingly extensive. Based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) method, this paper analyzes the environmental performance of green building materials. First, the basic concept and framework of LCA are expounded, which lays a theoretical foundation for the subsequent research. Then, the environmental impact factors of green building materials in various life cycle stages are analyzed in detail, including raw material acquisition, production, use process and waste treatment. By comparing the environmental performance of different green building materials, the advantages and existing problems are revealed. The results of the study help the construction industry to further optimize the selection and application of green building materials to achieve sustainable development of buildings.
