The tool employs a tiered hybrid life cycle assessment approach to evaluate all emissions derived from housing company activities. This paper explores the attitudes and ideas of the housing managers themselves. Based on the interviews, it appears the managers and their clients would benefit from the easy-to-use, quick and nonlabor or data intensive tool. (Less)
