Use this window and its tabs to study the life cycle assessment (LCA) for different revisions of inventory parts. Using the different tabs in the window, you are able to examine the different substances emitted and also the quantity of each substance. You can also define usage and end of life emissions to be taken in to consideration when calculating the life cycle assessment for an inventory part.
The possibility to update your eco-footprint calculation by add/remove of substances on the specific part depends on the status of the part. For the Planned and In Progress status, substances can be added, removed or modified but for the Complete and Approved status, it is illegitimate to take any actions.
You can also study the declared mass for your eco-footprint calculation. The declared mass (%) shows the ratio (as a percentage) between the built-in substances weight and the part net weight. The built-in substances weight is equal to the sum of the accumulated weight for all substances in the structure with media code product and base UoM. In order to have a good knowledge about the substances built-in to your part the declared mass percentage should be close to 100%.
A life cycle assessment (LCA , also known as life cycle analysis, eco-balance, and cradle-to-grave analysis) is the investigation and valuation of the environmental impacts of a given product or service caused or necessitated by its existence.
