The LCA checker helps you ensure the accuracy and completeness of your Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data. It compares your project information against benchmarks for similar buildings, highlighting potential areas for improvement. It helps you identify potential data gaps or inconsistencies, leading to a more reliable and robust LCA.
How to Use the LCA Checker
Go to the results page of your building project.
Find the "Completeness and plausibility checker" section and click "Click here for details."
Review the overall grade assigned to your project based on data completeness.
Investigate any potential issues flagged by the checker.
If a flagged item is correct, you can validate it manually.
Important Notes
The LCA checker is optimized for new construction projects.
When assessing refurbishments or fit-outs, the checker may flag reused elements (like foundations) as missing. This is because it compares your project to new construction benchmarks.
You can always validate these checks if the flagged values are accurate for your project.
