The model and data quality evaluation capabilities are demonstrated with an analysis of the environmental performance of an average hospital in the US. Since the code and program is accessible, you see the quality of our work. USEEIO is assembled with a new Python module called the IO Model Builder capable of assembling and calculating results of user-defined input-output models and exporting the models into LCA software.
We believe this fits perfectly to Life Cycle and Sustainability Assessment as a user, this brings you flexibility, you do not need to worry about software codes, and are not locked in, and bound by, a closed source, black box software. Global LCA Data Access Network Gathers life cycle dataset providers and other stakeholders who share the goal of improving sustainability-related decisions through enhanced, interoperable and global access to LCA datasets. One reason for its development was to make LCA and Sustainability Assessment more accessible and affordable, and we are grateful for supporters for the project, initially in Europe and later on especially in the US.Īs a result, openLCA is completely free, without any license costs, and there is no catch. For over 20 years the Open Source Initiative (OSI) has worked to raise awareness and adoption of open source software, and build bridges between open source communities of practice. openlca-python-tutorial Explains the usage of the openLCA API from Python.
