Abstract
In the European context of upgrading the housing stock energy performance, multiple
barriers hinder the wide uptake of sustainable retrofitting practices. Moreover, some of these may
imply negative effects often disregarded. Policy makers need to identify how to increase and improve
retrofitting practices from the comprehensive point of view of sustainability. None of the existing
assessment tools addresses all the issues relevant for sustainable development in a local situation from
a life cycle perspective.
Life cycle sustainability assessment methodology, or LCSA, analyzes environmental and
socioeconomic impacts. The environmental part is quite developed, but the socioeconomic aspect is
still challenging. This work proposes socioeconomic criteria to be included in a LCSA to assess
retrofitting works in the specific context of Brussels-Capital Region. LCSA feasibility and challenging
methodology aspects are discussed.
