Which modelling method for my LCA study
Posted: 22 Nov 2017 12:20
Hi everyone
I want to use OpenLCA for my LCA study on building and I don’t know which modelling method to use. My question came because the majority of the LCI modelling have been developed for Europe, north America or Japan, while my study is for Morocco, a country in north Africa so I’m searching for an international/ Global method.
I found that Impact 2002+ has a multicontinental version which was established by Rochat et al. 2006, So I want to know if this version is implemented in the ecoinvent database for OpenLCA software or there is just the basic one developed for Europe. Otherwise, would you suggest me other valid method for my geographical zone?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards!
