Building objects are anthropogenic objects that are born - planning, arise - design, develop - build and die - are demolished or modernized at the end of their lives. In this way, they create a life cycle in which human needs in the field of broadly understood construction are met.The article presents the use of engineering for the analysis and assessment of the construction life cycle."The essence of engineering object construction is the procedure leading to the creation of a safe object throughout its life cycle."

An integrated approach to product and process design and development based on Life Cycle Engineering principles is proposed. The aim is to make available a structured framework to drive the design team in their discussions and analysis towards the creation of purposeful design concepts and process alternatives and in their global evaluations towards informed decisions on a life cycle perspective. A case study is presented based on a cloths peg already in the market, which is intended to be redesigned in order to reduce its cost and increase its attractiveness. The simplicity of the product allows giving emphasis to the models and its methods. Considering several design and process alternatives, it is revealed how the proposed approach is applied and the type of conclusions and findings of such type of methodology.

Life-cycle engineering seeks to incorporate various product life-cycle values into the early stages of design. These values include functional performance, manufacturability, serviceability, and environmental impact. We start with a survey of life-cycle engineering research focusing on methodologies and tools. Further, the paper addresses critical research issues in life-cycle design tools: design representation and measures for life-cycle evaluation. The paper describes our design representation scheme based on a semantic network that is effective for evaluating the structural layout. Evaluation measures for serviceability and recyclability illustrate the practical use of these representation schemes.

Abstract Traditional engineering analysis of product designs has focused primarily on a product’s operational performance without considering costs of manufacturing and other stages downstream from design. In contrast, life cycle analysis of a product during its initial development can play a crucial role in determining the product’s overall life cycle cost and useful life span. This paper examines product life cycle engineering analysis - measurement of product operational performance in a life cycle context. Life cycle engineering analysis is thus considered both as an extension of traditional engineering analysis methods and as a subset of a total product life cycle analysis. The issues critical to life cycle engineering analysis are defined and include product life cycle data modeling and analysis, analysis tools and their performance regimes, performance tradeoff measurement and problems of life cycle engineering analysis in an organizational context. Recommendations are provided for future research directions into life cycle engineering analysis in the context of integration architectures for concurrent engineering.
