We expect these studies to follow the ISO 14040 guidelines, i.e. We speak about LCA case studies of course, studies that investigate the life cycle of a product or service. Other LCA experts might be working on a similar LCA topic and could benefit from that work by simply using the existing case study as a basis for their modelling in openLCA and for data collection.įor this reason, we have now established a case study section on openLCA Nexus that should in the long run turn into something like a marketplace – just that you sell and buy life cycle models and case study documentations instead of fruits or cloths.įirst, let us clarify what we understand under the term case study. Many LCA practitioners might have been working on case studies during the past years, with a noteworthy outcome and without confidentiality restrictions. For some time now, we have the vision of providing an opportunity to not offer the download of LCI databases for use in openLCA but also complete case studies.
