Features of Our LCA Software
Advanced Methodologies for Measuring Environmental Performance
Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)
Calculate the PCF according to ISO 14067, GHG Protocol or PAS 2050 and optimize the carbon footprint of your products.
Corporate Carbon Footprints (CCF)
Enhance corporate sustainability by calculating your company's carbon footprint in accordance with ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Achieve product sustainability through the analysis of various environmental impacts according to ISO 14040 & 14044.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
Prove the environmental performance of your products with an Environmental Product Declaration according to ISO 14025.
Life Cycle Costing (LCC)
Integrate all the costs that your product incurs throughout its life cycle into your environmental assessment.
Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA)
Uncover the hidden costs of production via Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) in accordance with ISO 14051.
Frequently Asked Questions on Umberto
An LCA, as defined in the ISO 14040/14044 standard, is a method to analyze the environmental impact of a product over its entire life cycle. In this context, the term 'product' includes packaging, construction and also services. Taking the entire product life cycle into consideration - from resource extraction to production, use, and disposal – guarantees an integrated evaluation of all inputs and outputs, thus making sure negative environmental impacts aren't shifted to other life cycle phases of the product.
More on Life Cycle Assessments
ISO 14040/44 outlines four structured steps for conducting an LCA:
- Goal and Scope Definition: Determine the purpose, boundaries, and focus of the assessment.
- Life Cycle Inventory (LCI): Gather data on resource use and emissions across all stages of the product's life cycle.
- Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA): Evaluate environmental impacts based on the data collected.
- Interpretation: Analyze results, draw conclusions, and communicate findings to stakeholders.
Our tool is uniquely designed to seamlessly align with the structured framework of ISO 14040/44, guiding you through each process while optimizing complex LCA processes for maximum efficiency. With powerful features to make and improve outcomes, scale projects, and save time, our software streamlines the entire workflow from start to finish. Watch our demo video to see how an LCA process is created step by step.
The use of suitable data is essential when preparing a life cycle assessment. Since primary data is often not available, Umberto integrates various LCA & LCI databases (ecoinvent, Carbon Minds, and USLCI), ensuring you always have a reliable database at hand, supported by powerful tools to access, manage, and apply this information effectively.
