Question

Is it possible to use OpenLCA for Whole Building LCA (from product stage to disposal)? I can imagine how to use the software per stage, but how do I link these stages? Also how to include all different materials used for one building construction? Would I have to do one project per material or is it possible to combine everything in one project? Thank you in advance

Answer 1

This is possible, you probably best do one product system for larger elements (life cycle stage, or elements in one life cycle stage such as constructing the roof), and connect the product systems hierarchically.
