N2 - Life Cycle Assessment or LCA is a suitable method to support environmentally-sound decisionmaking in renewal processes in the housing stock. Nevertheless, renovation is not a standard part of LCA of buildings. There are some methodological issues to be solved. The aim of this paper is to present a framework for comparison of housing transformation options, such as new construction and renovation, and renovation options. The framework consists of solutions for the issues of life cycle, building stage and environmental data. Further research will test the framework in a couple of case studies on housing transformation and renovation of neighbourhoods.
