In
the introduction we outline the basic concepts of the PEF studies and the
Life Cycle Analysis methodology. You will learn why the studies are relevant,
how they are structured and what processes are involved.
After this module, you
will know how to get started on your own PEF study and learn about the first step of conducting a PEF study: defining the goal
and
scope
After completing this module, you will be aware of the Life cycle assessment (LCA) software that can be used for the environmental footprint assessment, be able to describe the four steps of the Impact Assessment and be able to understand the characterization, normalization and weighting of the results as well as when to use them. You will be also aware of the possibility of adding additional environmental information.
After completing this module, you will be able to explain how to draw conclusion based on the PEF results, how to interpret characterized, normalized and weighted results, identify the most relevant impact categories, life cycle stages, process and elementary flows and perform an estimation of the uncertainty.
After completing this module, you will be able to explain the process of reporting on a PEF study as well as the verification and validation of PEF reports.
