Life-cycle assessments (LCAs) can be used to support the selection of environmentally preferable building materials. But the dominance of the usage phase in the life cycle of building materials represents a special challenge for two reasons. First, many aspects of a building material's usage phase can be context specific. Second, the LCA outcome may rest on a building material's service life, a parameter for which there is typically insufficient information for proper determination. For example, in the selection of a window, important usage-phase, context-specific factors that could be determinant include location/climate, heating-system characteristics (efficiency and fuel), and product durability. A prototype software tool, the Life Cycle Explorer, has been developed that enables decision makers to assess the relative importance of literally dozens of such influential parameters in determining the outcomes of LCA evaluations for building components. The software employed by the Life Cycle Explorer permits extensive layering while maintaining ease of browsing, with the intent of accessibility to both the layperson and the expert. An initial application of the tool addressed residential window selection;the design principles of the software are relevant to the communication phase of awide variety of LCA and industrial-ecology-related modeling projects.

Director Harvard Institute of Psychiatric Epidemiology and Genetics and Superintendent and Head Harvard Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts Mental Health Center. He received an M.D. degree at the College of Medicine National Taiwan University and his Ph.D. at the Institute of Psychiatry Faculty of Medicine University of London. Dr. Tsuang also received a Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) in Psychiatric Epidemiology and Genetics Faculty of Science University of London. Professor Tsuang has worked throughout his career as a clinician teacher researcher and administrator in a variety of private state federal and international mental health care settings. He has been recognized both nationally and internationally for his research in schizophrenia and other major psychiatric disorders including manic-depressive illness and substance abuse. One of his areas of interest is in the rapidly developing field of research related to the interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors for severe mental disorders. Professor Tsuang is the recipient of a myriad of awards for his work among them the First Prize in Clinical Research Award from the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists
the Rema Lapouse Award for Mental Health Epidemiology from the American Public Health Association and the Stanley Dean Award for Basic Research in Schizophrenia from the American College of Psychiatrists. He is also a Member of the Institute of Medicine National Academy of Sciences and Member Academia Sinica of Taiwan. Recently Professor Tsuang received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics and the Taiwanese-American Award for Achievement in Science and Engineering. He has authored or co-authored nearly 400 publications including publications in peer reviewed journals in book chapters and also in books in the areas of psychiatric epidemiology psychiatric genetics nosology of major psychoses ne
