Abstract: Abstract Environmental and operational loads are design drivers for steel support structures of Offshore Wind Turbines. Besides common design and installation factors a holistic design includes sustainability dimensions which will dominate decision processes and cost effectiveness of future renewable constructions. Within a national research project a life cycle sustainability assessment was developed for steel constructions of renewable focussing on Offshore Wind Turbines. To describe the sustainability, categories and criteria were defined and their applicability was analyzed for selected reference steel support structures of Offshore Wind Turbines.
