EuGeos can help you to set up openLCA quickly, efficiently and robustly. For example, we can

establish a database such as ILCD or ecoinvent in the software
ensure that installed LCIA methods are compatible
lead you through the basic steps of life cycle modelling using openLCA
speed up your learning curve and optimise your use of openLCA
guide you through your complete LCA project

EuGeos offers a fast-track implementation of openLCA to suit your specific objectives

EuGeos' 15804-IA Database for EN 15804-compliant building product EPD

To facilitate the preparation of EN 15804-compliant EPD for the building industry, at EuGeos we have developed a database extension to ecoinvent to allow calculation of specific indicators: the EuGeos' 15804-IA Database to be used with openLCA software.

The latest version of EuGeos' 15804-IA Database - is based on ecoinvent v3_6 and can be used in openLCA v1.10. EuGeos' 15804-IA Database is available to download from the openLCA Nexus website.
