Tool
LCALight was developed at ABB Corporate Research
Purpose
LCALight is a web-based LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) tool for "quick and
adequate" environmental impact calculations. LCALight was developed for the
ABB intranet to be used by all ABB employees. Due to the simplicity of the tool,
it is well suited for self-learning and to demonstrate the LCA methodology. Once
a user has learned the methodology and starts to have questions that are more
difficult than the tool can answer the user is ready to use a more advanced LCA
tool.
Description
LCALight can calculate environmental impact from materials, energy and
transports. The LCALight tool contains LCI data (with metadata) for 45
materials, 47 electricity mixes, 6 fossil fuels and 9 transports.
