Low carbon of lime plaster repair: Life cycle assessment approach in achieving sustainable maintenance management for heritage buildings

Purpose Low carbon repair epitomises sustainable maintenance management for heritage buildings. However, there is little recognition of this aspect, coupled with impractical assessment of repair impact strategies. This paper aims to present a decision-making process based on life cycle assessment (L...
