Project Team Experience

With the use of One Click LCA tool, we managed to introduce the life cycle thinking into a systematic holistic approach. The tool helped us clearly define environmental goals in advance and interpret results into potential impacts on the environment. Since LCA provided a detailed breakdown of the main contributors (materials, energy sources, life cycle stage, etc.) to key environmental impacts, project owners could target investments more effectively and informed. Significant attention has been paid to the local manufacturers and providers of the material supply chains.

One Click LCA assessment tools contributed to cost savings through more efficient use of resources, and by identifying alternative processes that lowered overall project costs.
