VECC - lifecycle length


Recommended Posts

Hi All,


I am getting a handle on the VECC tool, and am wondering how many have used it outside of the UK?  

The default/template is developed around the RICS standards for LCA in the UK, which uses a 60 year time horizon, while most of Europe/Scandinavia uses a 50 year timeline. I dont know if I fully understand whether this is reflected in the computation of values within the VECC spreadsheet, but appreciate any insight from those who have used it.

In theory, it could be that the 60 year period isnt reflected in any calculations, if you enter the # of times a product/material must be renewed (a.k.a. phase B4 in LCA)...but I could be misunderstanding things.
