Units of "Points" Meaning

Question

For some specific impact assessment methods, for example, IMPACT 2002+ (Endpoint) the results are shown in units of "Points".

Does it mean that the results are normalized or weighted?

In contrast, the impact assessment method TRACI shows the results with regular units like kg.

Answer 1

Hello Niksk,

Pt is sometimes just the unit for an impact category. You should check the documentation for the impact assessment method to see what the unit means. Another example is the EN15804 impact assessment method, which measures land use as pt, but which is not either normalized or weighted.
