Integration of detailed/screening LCA software-based tools into design processes

摘要: Existing studies and methodologies for eco-design of products have not sufficiently taken into account the integration different types lifecycle assessment (LCA) software-based tools in design processes detail, their application has systematically matched these with process stages. On other hand ever increasing pace new IT Life Cycle Assessment requires that old are revised updated according to pool environmental impact assessment. In order study suitability timely type LCA (detailed/streamlined-screening) within process, as well showing advantages/disadvantages; this paper presents a case design/development an eco-lighting product where two tools: Simapro (detailed tool) Sustainable Minds (screening used support development product. The results provide useful insights guidelines about which use, when they during process.
