Building an open source LCA calculation engine based on LCAx!

We believe that there is missing an open source calculation engine for whole building LCAs. Building a calculation engine that takes advantages of LCAx's data structure seems like a natural next step in our journey.

  • Based on LCAx's Data Structure
    The calculation engine should take LCAx data as input and return LCAx data with the result fields populated.
  • Based on EN15978
    The calculation engine should live up to the European norm for LCA calculations - EN15978.
  • Webpage for Calculations
    A calculation engine means no UI!
    But.
    We would still like to help users use the calculation engine. So we will provide a webpage for users to upload their LCAx file for calculation.
