LCA@CPM The link: http://databases.imi.chalmers.se/imiportal/
Tool
LCA@CPM was developed by the research group
Industrial Environmental Informatics at Chalmers University of Technology.
Purpose
The LCA@CPM is a web based life cycle assessment (LCA) tool supporting LCA
practitioners at companies and organizations to work according to the ISO 14040
framework in a transparent way. It is a tool for managing all information needed
when working with LCA, based on the ISO 14040 series framework and the ISO/TS
14048 data documentation format. The tool is also suitable for product
declaration according to ISO 14025. The work is performed in projects in order
to allow members in e.g. different organizations, countries, etc. to participate
in different LCA projects and enable an efficient and secure handling and
sharing of data.
Use
LCA@CPM supports transparent documentation of the study to be generated
simultaneously as the study is performed. The transparency facilitates reuse of
data and understanding of the results from a study. The software was recently
released and is hence not bug free but it is continuosly being improved. The
tool is built on the basis of formats, methods and tools such as SPINE , IA98 ,
EPS 2000 and WWLCAW . The user already acquainted with these will find it easy
to use also LCA@CPM.
Evaluation
The tool is being developed but it looks promising.
