Systematically evaluate the environmental impacts of the product from the acquisition
of the raw material to the final disposal, taking into account the objectives and scope.
The level of detail and duration varies depending on the objective and scope
established.
Provisions are established to respect confidentiality and ownership.
The methodology may vary to include new scientific findings and improvements to the
technique.
There is no single method to implement a LCA, it all depends on the organizations and
the application.
This technique is very different from the others because it is a relative approach based
on a functional unit.
The AVC does not predict precise or absolute environmental impacts.
System limits
The limits define the processes to be included in the system, the criteria used to establish
the limits of the system must take into account all stages of the life cycle as they are:
Acquisition of raw material.
Manufacturing input and output.
Distribution.
Production.
Use and maintenance of products.
Disposal of waste from both processes and products.
Recovery of products used.
Production of secondary materials.Specific characteristics of a life cycle analysis.

Life Cycle AnalysisBecomes a Main Streamof Evaluation Methods
Strachan N et al. Investigates the difference of emission between Distributed Energy
System and
traditional energy system, providing insights about sensitivity factors like HPR
(HeatPower Ratio) and discussing about several specific scenarios. The authors emphasized
that the coefficients may vary across
time and the value of different projects are subject to the users’ demand and location, showing
that case studies are important in this stream of research. Romero et al. investigates 5 cases
(Distributed Energy Systems in green buildings) in Spain and e valuates their performance.
The research eliminates scenarios
of selling electricity to the grid and energy storage but includes scenarios of different fuel
prices, using LCA method to evaluate the influence on the environment. The research builds a
framework of location we at he relectricity demand/solar condition, contributing to the
literature in the aspect of seasonality of
Distributes Energy System’s operation. Wheeley et al. uses NPV calculation to evaluate
the
performance of Heat Electricity co generation projects, with scenarios of selling residual fuel.

ISO 14040
Given the importance of environmental protection on the products consumed and the impacts
they bring, multiple techniques have been used in order to understand and treat these
problems among these is the life cycle analysis; which helps us recognize the opportunities of
products within their different stages of their life cycle, thus improving their environmental
performance, also allows the formulation of environmental indicators and marketing.
The four phases for a life cycle analysis are:
