This is the video channel for the openLCA software - high performance, professional, open-source and free software for Life Cycle Assessments and Sustainability Assessments. Channel and software development are managed by GreenDelta. For support, please visit ask.openlca.org/
The video channel is structured in the following playlists: 1. What´s new: Here, we introduce newly developed databases and features in openLCA 2. Tutorials: If you work with openLCA for the first time, you will find help here 3. Case studies: Here, we upload guided case studies in openLCA 4. Webinars: Here, you find recorded webinars 5. Livestreams: Here, we present biweekly live streams on LCA topics
You have created a new flow, "Mediterranean spices," but it did not appear in the diagram because it's not linked to a provider; the question is, "If I created a flow, how can I link it with the correct provider?"
m doing a LCA for my intership for production process in a company, do i need another database beside the company data ?? like a exemple data to do a comparaison or somthing. idk how things supposed to work
Thank you for the insights! Would like to ask where to find the "global warming" selection in the "impact category" in version openLCA 2.0.0? There are only "water ecotoxity, human cancer toxity and human non toxic
Hi, i need to know how to add various substrates, manufacturing processes and its amounts manually to this software? If you have mentioned it anywhere, please specify that part ?
CORRECTION: 42:50 - it was mentioned discounting rate was displayed - however, it is only the fraction of "1/(1+r)^n" was displayed where "r" is the discounting rate and "n" is the number of year.
We apologize for the low resolution - you can find a better resolution for the tool demonstration via this link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ocmWcnEGUxo.html&ab_channel=openLCA
Thanks for such an insightful video! Would like to ask you where can I see the GHG emissions generated during the entire life cycle of the pasta preparation?
you can do that in the "Inputs/Outputs" tab at the process level. You shall include an energy flow in the inputs side, and link it to a provider (provider column). There are many choices for energy providers and technologies.
Thank you all for a good interactive webinar and the 30 minutes discussion! The slides are now available here: www.greendelta.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/EF31_webinar-1.pdf
You can download all databases from each node. Then, you have to create a new empty database in openLCA and import those databases. All databases needed are shown in the Webinar (time: 14:08). However this is a very very slow method but it is free.
@@openLCA, in fact when I try to import EF_3_1_logical_datastock from CEPE, openLCA shows 29 errors and more than 400 warnings. Obviously, this database is not imported. Perhaps a bug?
@@efcarrasco maybe the database is imported, with errors, maybe not (depending on how severe they are) but what you describe is what we also tried to explain in the video, which maybe did not come through: the datasets as they are published on the offical sites are not correct.
Thank you for your comment. The second part of the video wasn't uploaded. We recommend you look at this more recent tutorial for openlca and the ecoinvent database: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fakykrInvUc.html
usually you have to get familiar with the database and datasets inside. You can find descriptions of a specific dataset at the "general information" tab in a process.
Thank you for the comment. In fact, the workflow is very similar to the previous version. The manual can be found here already: manuals.openlca.org/openlca/introduction/index.html
Hello, here is Alice from Brazil. I have question: for now it is only possible to build EPD for Contruction Products according to EN 15804 in opneLCA? Or we can import other LCIA methods for other EPDs? Thank you!
Thank you for your question. You can import any dataset that is accepted by openLCA, e.g. JSON-LD, ILCD, SimaPro CSV, etc. so you can also import other LCIA Methods or datasets as you wish. The important thing here is that the elementary flows of that LCIA Method are found in the database where you are doing your modelling.
