3 What is Life Cycle Assessment? Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a technique to assess environmental impacts associated with ALL stages of a product's life raw materials processing packaging installation use distribution raw material extraction manufacturing and blending disposal and recycling
4 What is Life Cycle Assessment? LCAs prevent a narrow outlook on environmental concerns (single attribute evaluations) by: Utilizing a recognized global methodology that provides a transparent, holistic and balanced approach to product evaluation Compiling an inventory of all energy/material inputs and environmental releases Evaluating the potential impacts associated with all inputs and releases Interpreting the results to help customers make informed and technically sound decisions
5 What is Life Cycle Assessment? The International Standards Organization (ISO) provides a structured process to assure fair, credible and transparent LCA results Relevant (ISO) LCA Documents 1. ISO 14040: Environmental Management Life Cycle Assessment Principles and Framework, Second Edition; International Organisation for Standardisation, ISO 14044: Environmental Management Life Cycle Assessment Requirements and Guidelines, First Edition; International Organisation for Standardisation, 2006.
6 What is Life Cycle Assessment? Four basic stages of LCA Goal and Scope Definition Inventory Analysis Interpretation Impact Assessment flow diagram from ISO Standard
7 Goal Goal and Scope Definition Enterprise/Industry: Develop environmental strategy for products and services Manufacturing: Create and improve sustainable manufacturing processes Sales and Marketing: Support environmental marketing claims, provide green building credits for LCA/EPD credits Customers: Use best materials and processes and avoid single attribute selection
8 Scope Goal and Scope Definition Functional Unit System Boundaries Assumptions and Limitations Allocation Methods Environmental Impact Categories
9 Goal and Scope Definition Scope: Functional Unit Defined by the primary function fulfilled by a product system Enables equal comparison of alternative product systems Determines the reference flow on which amounts of inputs and outputs are calculated For all building insulation products, the functional unit is defined by a new Product Category Rule document[1] (2011): 1m² of insulation material with a thickness that gives a design thermal resistance R SI = 1 m²k/w and with a building service life of 60 years
10 Goal and Scope Definition Scope: System Boundaries Defines what precisely what materials and processes are to be included in the LCA Other Building Raw Other Building Raw Manufacturing Building Installation Building Use Heating / Cooling Building End of Life Maintenance SPF Raw SPF Raw Manufacturing SPF Installation SPF Use and Maintenance SPF Disposal LCA Study Boundary
11 Goal and Scope Definition Scope: Assumptions and Limitations Defines the time, technology and geographic limits of the data Time: Raw material and process data < 5 years old Technology: Three generically formulated SPF products Geography: United States Data: Primary data from industry sources, other raw materials from recognized sources (GaBi, NREL LCI databases) Cut off Rules: Ignore energy, materials or emissions <1% if not environmentally relevant
12 Goal and Scope Definition Scope: Allocation Methods Defines allocation of resource consumption and environmental impacts from joint production of materials used for other processes
13 Goal and Scope Definition Scope: Environmental Impact Categories Defines environmental impacts per functional unit per Tool for the Reduction and Assessment of Chemical and Other Environmental Impacts (TRACI) 2.0 methodology, except USETox and PEI special energy flow Impact Category Characterization Factor Description Unit Global Warming Potential (GWP) Eutrophication Potential (EP) Acidification Potential (AP) Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP) Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) Additional Inventory/Impact Category Primary Energy Demand (PED) [1] Human and Eco Toxicity [2] A measure of greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO 2 and methane. Eutrophication covers all potential impacts of excessively high levels of macronutrients, the most important of which nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).. The acidification potential is a measure of a molecule s capacity to increase the hydrogen ion (H + ) concentration in the presence of water, thus decreasing the ph value. A measure of emissions of precursors that contribute to ground level smog formation (mainly ozone O 3 ), A measure of air emissions that contribute to the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer. A measure of the total amount of primary energy extracted from the earth, expressed in energy demand from non renewable or renewable resources Measures of carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive CMR impact kg CO 2 equivalent kg Nitrogen equivalent mol H + equivalent kg O 3 equivalent kg CFC 11 equivalent MJ Case (human) PAF*m3 (eco) [1] PED is a special inventory flow created by PEI using the concept of primary energy [2] Characterization factors from USETox methodology, a European based methodology developed by SETAC Life Cycle Initiative
