Adapt database

Question

Hello! I started to do some analysis of construction materials for my dissertation and I need to adapt some data to the Brazilian reality, because I didn't find all the materials with BR geography at Ecoinvent. Would anyone have any tips on how I can start doing this? On the other hand, some theoretical material that can help me. Thanks.

Hi Marianne,

you are welcome - there are some materials available from the Shonan Guidance document, unit process dataset development: https://www.lifecycleinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/2011%20-%20Global%20Guidance%20Principles.pdf. You can also look at some example case studies of course.

All the best,

Andreas
