Database Ökobaudat according to EN 15804+A2

Question

Hi, I'm currently calculating the environmental impact of some construction products in Germany. For this purpose, there are some valuable datasets in Ökobaudat. OPENLCA offers datasets from Ökobaudat, but they are a bit old and not based on the assessment methods of EN 15804+A2. Can the new Ökobaudat be offered anytime soon?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Answer 1

Yes you are right, it is on our list; problem is a bit (similar to the EF database) that the files are having quite some issues which need curation. For the non-curated version, you can simply download the ILCD files and import them into openLCA (and then perform a validation to check what I mean).

All the best,

Andreas

Hi Andreas, good news. I want to say thank you for all your contributions. I've learned so much in the last weeks about LCA and EPD through your work and OPENLCA. Thank you!
