In the introduction we outline the basic concepts of the OEF studies and the Life Cycle analysis methodology. You will learn why the studies are relevant, how they are structured and what processes are involved.
In this module you will learn about the first step of conducting an OEF study: defining the goal and scope
In this module you will learn to identify and collect data. You will learn the difference between primary and secondary data and how they have to be selected.
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 OEF 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 an OEF study as well as the verification and validation of OEF reports.
