(Social) Life Cycle Assessment with openLCA and ...
(Social) Life Cycle Assessment with openLCA and specific databases June 12, 2017; 8:00 am – 5:30 pm, Medellín, Colombia Objectives: -
Learn how to assess environmental and social impacts of products over their life cycles by means of the free LCA software openLCA Learn how to combine Environmental and Social Life Cycle Assessment (E-LCA and S-LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) Discover (S-)LCA databases like ecoinvent, PSILCA and soca
Topic: Life Cycle Assessment with software In the course, the trainer will first briefly introduce the E-LCA and S-LCA theory. Further, it will be demonstrated how social and environmental impacts and costs can be assessed and calculated along entire product life cycles using LCA software and databases. Moreover, it will be illustrated how SLCA and E-LCA (and Life Cycle Costing (LCC)) can be combined to a Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). For the practical application, the free and open source LCA software openLCA, the S-LCA database PSILCA and the social LCA add-on for ecoinvent, soca, will be introduced. Participants will perform practical exercises and carry out a small case study to illustrate individual working steps in different situations. Preliminary agenda: -
Brief introduction of LCA Introduction of openLCA: installation, creation of product system, calculation and interpretation of results Presentation of ecoinvent, PSILCA and soca Explanation of the use of PSILCA and soca in LCA software (openLCA) Presentation and discussion of fields of application (e.g. hybrid application) underlined by one or more case studies Discussion of different results and methods regarding application of different purposes (SLCA, LCSA)
Trainer: Franziska Eisfeldt (GreenDelta GmbH) Tools: openLCA, PSILCA, Soca Target group: LCA practitioners Language: English or Spanish (depending on the participants` language preferences) Requirements: basic knowledge of LCA required; own notebook Venue: 1 day (June 12, 2017; 8:00 am – 5:30 pm) Max. number of participants: 15 Prize: The course is part of the CILCA 2017 conference and hence included in the participation fee.
