It is acceptable to use subsequent, more recent releases/versions of a recognised tool (that have the same name as shown in the table).Ĭlick on the thumbnail for the full table. The US EPA MOVES 2014 model was used to derive ErnFs from combustion profiles for a number of transportation and on-site equipment processes. To apply for a new tool to be evaluated, please contact: more than one version of the same tool is listed for a given scheme version, the most recent version of the tool (that is available at the point building LCA work commences on the project) should be used. The basis for chemical, construction, and treatment material ErnFs is life cycle inventory (LCI) data extracted from secondary data sources and compiled using the openLCA software package. The ReCiPe 2016 impact assessment method is used to calculate.

The study is a process LCA, modelled in the OpenLCA software using the Ecoinvent 3.7 inventory database. When data are lacking, assumptions must be made. In this thesis, the case study assesses the environmental impacts from a residential house in Iceland utilizing fiberglass and stone wool panels as the main building materials. These recognised tools may be either an IMPACT Compliant tool or another type of building LCA tool that has been evaluated by BREEAM and considered suitable for carrying out building LCA according to BREEAM’s scheme specific requirements. The LCA is conducted with openLCA by introducing the required data for all building stages, from raw materials extraction to end of life. Only submissions from the tools listed here will be accepted as part of a BREEAM assessment.

The following table shows the building LCA tools that are recognised by BREEAM for each BREEAM scheme.
