EcoLab is a powerful software tool for LCA studies.
Some highlights: |
 |
EcoLab has flexible and powerful search facilities to explore the database. |
|
Flowcharts and processess are
stored in the database as reusable
components, ready to use in new LCA studies. |
|
Processes are modelled as flowchart
diagrams. The flowcharts are drawn and modified
directly on the screen, using a graphical toolbox |
|
True hierarchical process
structures, like multiple level product/component structures, are easily built in special
treeview diagrams called assemblies. |
|
EcoLab handles large
and complex models by allowing for multiple level structures, which means
that flowcharts can be made up by other sublevel flowcharts which in turn are made up by
flowcharts themselves, and so on. Such structures are easily explored in treeview diagrams. |
|
EcoLab keeps track of what data
really represents in special metadata fields. |
|
EcoLab supports a number of different reports,
enabling the comparison of multiple products and processes. Output data may be presented
in different forms such as barcharts, crosstabs and lists. |
