<prompt> Qedela umusho olandelayo: Maphakathi nawo-1980, izinkinga zemvelo zazisematheni nasekunakekeleni komphakathi ngenxa yezinhlekelele ezahlukahlukene zomhlaba wonke njengenhlekelele yaseBhopal 1984, ukuqhuma kwe-nuclear eChernobyl 1986 kanye ne-  <response>: Ukuchitheka kwethangi i - Exxon Valdez 1989. Ukuhlolwa komjikelezo wokuphila i-LCAs kwakuqala ukuthola amandla kusukela ezigabeni zayo zokuqala ngawo-1970 kuya ku-1980 futhi kwakungo-1991 lapho leli gama laqanjwa khona okokuqala. Ngenxa yokwanda kokwaziswa ngemiphumela yemvelo ngenxa yemisebenzi yabantu, kwafunwa kakhulu ukuhlolwa okuphelele kwezakhiwo kusetshenziswa izimiso ze-LCA. Ngo-1990, kwakhishwa indlela yokuqala yokuhlola ukuzinza kwezakhiwo, iBREEAM. Ngo-1993, uRick Fedrizzi, uDavid Gottfried noMike Italiano bakha uMkhandlu Wokwakha Okuluhlaza wokuqala emhlabeni i-GBC noMkhandlu Wokwakha Okuluhlaza wase-US. Umsebenzi wabo kwakuwukukhuthaza imikhuba egxile ekusimameni embonini yezokwakha nokwakha kanye nokuthuthukisa izimiso zokwakha ezizinzile. I-USGBC ibuye ibe nesibopho sokusungulwa kohlelo lokulinganisa izakhiwo eziluhlaza i-Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LEED ngo-1998. Ukuhlanganiswa kokusetshenziswa kwamandla, ukusebenza kwezinto nezinye izindaba zemvelo ezihlobene nokwakhiwa, kanye nomgomo wokuqhathanisa ukuqhathaniswa kokuhlolwa kwaholela ezindleleni zokuhlola izakhiwo eziphelele.
