Course Overview
This course, which takes place over two half days, is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology as well as a basic understanding of how to conduct a whole building life cycle assessment using the eToolLCD software. You will be guided through your own practice project through to “certification” level to ensure a full understanding of the concepts and software. Upon completion of eToolLCD Advanced LCA training, you will have first hand experience conducting an LCA as well as an overall understanding of life cycle assessment of the built form. Ongoing support will be provided through your project as required, at mutually agreeable times, to get your project to “certification” level. Upon completion of this “certified” project, you will be awarded an “eToolLCD Consultant” accreditation.
