Key features of the LCA methodology
Scope must b f S t be from cradle to grave f products dl t for d t LCA studies should be transparent Specific requirements for comparative assertions p q p
Goal: intended application, audience, reasons for the study Scope: product system, types of impacts, data quality

Functional Unit
What is the f ti ? lighting f Wh t i th function? li hti of a space over time ti How many lamps and of what wattage are equivalent?
What is the function? transport of a vehicle over a distance 1 MJ of forest based biofuels is equivalant to 1 JM of petroleum fuel

Motivation for LCA: Reduce environmental impacts of products over their life cycle. LCA is used for decision-making, communication, decisionmarketing, and strategic planning ISO 14040-14043 cover all elements of LCA, from 14040planning/execution to methodologies. Setting of goals and scope in LCA studies are among the most important elements of an LCA

Possibly the most challenging part of LCA. ISO 14041 provides guidelines Categories: energy, raw materials, Commercial software tools are available, but the most , accurate inventories may be generated internally for manufacturers. TimeTime-related, geographic, and technology coverage of inventory data reduce uncertainty

Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) ISO 14042 Mandatory requirements for LCIA
Identify impact categories, classify inventory elements into impact categories, characterize impacts for each inventory element
