Life cycle costing (LCC) is the economic twin of environmental LCA. The ISO 15686-5 and EN 16627 framework, NPC/EAC indicators, and why costs never enter the EPD.
Read moreEvery cost item is classified on two axes: EN 15804 module and cost nature. This dual axis underpins marginal abatement cost (€/t CO2e) and the cost-carbon quadrant plot.
Read moreThe five phases of an EPD project from declared-unit definition to the verifier package: inventory, calculation, QA, report and lock.
Read moreThe three decisions in background data selection — right activity, right geography, right electricity mix — can move the result more than the inventory itself.
Read moreA single-number GWP result hides the uncertainty behind it. The chain from pedigree matrix to lognormal distribution to the P10/P90 band.
Read moreThe numerical core of an EPD is five result tables: core impact, additional impact, resource use, waste and output flows. What they mean, row by row.
Read moreThe -1/+1 rule, per-material biogenic carbon declaration, and how reuse / recycling / energy-recovery scenarios play out in GWP-biogenic.
Read moreYour EPD must be computed with EF v3.1; but for R&D, academic work and internal reporting, custom characterisation factors, custom methods and weighting sets are legitimate tools.
Read moreTen clients, forty projects, three verification timelines: the operational side of LCA consulting and how multi-tenant architecture answers it.
Read moreThe AI assistant speeds up inventory setup, suggests activity matches and interprets results — decisions and responsibility stay with the LCA expert.
Read moreA built-in AI assistant drafts the EN 15804+A2 interpretation in seconds. Architecture, prompt design, audit logging and the human approval loop.
Read moreAutomatic EN 15804+A2 modulary table filling, program operator templates, JSON-LD machine output and LCA copy for product variants in minutes.
Read moreThe consultant module manages multiple client portfolios from one panel; per-project licensing replaces yearly seat contracts. Built for LCA consultancies.
Read moreReal-time multi-user editing on the same LCA, live mass-flow balance, LCA copy and custom activity creation — how modern LCA collaboration works.
Read moreComparing feature lists misleads. What actually decides it is database access, verifiability and fit with your workflow.
