Interpretation of LCA results and EPD comparability
Book chapter, 2025
The chapter aims to facilitate the interpretation of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results and improve the comparability of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). This chapter provides guidance on analysing LCA data, grasping fundamental impact categories, and conducting data quality assessments during EPD development. By offering clear methodologies and criteria for assessment, it facilitates the simultaneous comparison of multiple EPDs or individual comparisons, thereby supporting more informed decision-making in the construction industry.
