Robust conversion between LCAx and other software is a cornerstone in LCAx's value proposition.
Therefore, we want to expand the current functionality to be able to convert between some of the most used LCA software.
- LCAx <-> LCAByg
LCAByg is probably the most widely use LCA calculation software on the Danish market. For that reason we want to provide native conversion between LCAx and LCAByg. - EPDx <-> ILCD+EPD
ILCD+EPD is the European Commission's format for EPDs and widely used as a data structure in Europe. That is why we want to support conversion between EPDx and ILCD+EPD. - EPDx <-> openEPD
openEPD is the underlying format for the many EPDs in @Building Transparency's EC3 tool. Integrating with openEPD will open up the door for working with EPDs outside of Europe. - Conversion Website
To make these conversion functionalities more accessible, we are going to make a webpage, where files and data can be converted between the different data formats. - LCAx Example Library
We want to create a library of LCAx formatted example projects to show case to users. Videncenter om Bygningers Klimapåvirkninger - VCBK has a library of case buildings that we would like to convert and use as a basis for our LCAx library.
What other conversion would you like to see LCAx implement?
