What is the difference between Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing? How can purchasing a system based on the lowest bid end up costing a business more? This U.S. EPA paper introduces the concept of Life Cycle Assessment as a means for identifying and addressing costly environmental issues before they occur.
