In this, initiatives that focus on Smart Environment are pivotal for the development of the EU energy planning and implementing. In this contribute we discuss some of the major issues that need to be addressed when assessing the sustainability of Smart Cities. After presenting an overview of the best indicators and indexes developed for drafting parameters/recommendation characterizing the Smart Environment dimension of a urban system, we focus on the potentiality of LCA in this area proposing a combined approach between dynamic LCA and the results of LCA in historical series for the generation of reliable index of sustainability for Cities

Data availability starts from the year 2000, when new data will mades available the dataset will be updated. The elaborated version consist in the application of some basic mathematics (average) to obtain 1 emisison value for each year. In this version also statistical descriptors are reported.

Thanks to the combination of several elements, SELFIE modules bear adaptive properties and self-production of renewable energy. The ecoprofile of the innovative component SELFIE2 was evaluated with life cycle analysis and, through a contribution analysis, the most impacting components were identified. In an eco-design approach, improvement actions to reduce the environmental burdens were suggested and validated by applying a sensitivity analysi
