Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBPOur scientists work closely with you to prepare different product usage scenarios. These are based on data such as user behavior, user preference or life expectancy and can be individually tailored to your customers. Based on this, thousands of life cycle assessments are calculated to cover the entire range of possible or expected uses. The results are then summarized in interactive and practical visualizations. This enables you to realistically assess the usage behavior of your customers and provides useful data which can be used in your product development processes.

HOW YOU BENEFIT
Based on information about your customers, we carry out the “Sustainability Stress Test” in the course of the LCA project to give you valuable insights into the environmental effects of your products during the use phase. Already in the processing phase, you receive predictions about the future environmental impact of your product. With this information, you can estimate the effects of decisions made during the product development stage on the environmental impact in the use phase. The results of the project are presented to you in the form of an interactive visualization. In this way, you can explore the different influencing variables and improve your understanding of their impact on LCA results.
