- Australian LCA Network
- "Through building an LCA network it is hoped that those who wish to work in the field will be able to build on each others experience and support one another where possible. "
- Case studies
- cases of building projects which have used Life Cycle techniques in Australia
- Greening the building life cycle
- Hybrid Embodied Energy case studies, embodied energy case
- List of computer tools:
PAN - Prarie Adaptation Network, Canada- Excellent publication list for Clearinghouse for climatic impact, adaptation and mitigation information, on Reports, journal articles, literature reviews & bibliographies (not updated frequently)
- SimaPro: The LCA Software Tool
- A program to "a tool to collect, analyse and monitor environmental information for products and services. " commercially available, with limited demo version. Very good for general product analysis.
