Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method in which the energy and raw material consumption, different types of emissions and other important factors related to a specific production or service are measured, analyzed and summarized over the entire life cycle. This course will cover the theory, practice and application of Life Cycle Assessment. Life Cycle Assessment is one tool in a large tool box of methods, such as Life Cycle Costing (LCC), Substance Flow Analysis (SFA), and Risk Assessment (RA), used to evaluate goods, services and systems.
