In this demonstration we run through the potential ways of modelling refurbishments and how it’s best done in RapidLCA.
Summary: This knowledge base article explains how RapidLCA accounts for grid electricity. Experience Level: It is anticipated that only a small number of experienced users will need this information. Good prior knowledge would be an understanding of National Greenhouse Gas Reporting standards and the “EN15978 Sustainability of construction works – Assessment of environmental performance of … Read more
We explain why we developed RapidLCA in this presentation, and some of the core concepts that designers need to understand about low carbon design and the use of RapidLCA.
RapidLCA is very easy to use and should be largely self explanatory. The below 10 minute demo video provides guidance on modelling and optimising a simple residential design showing how easy it is to achieve low carbon design with RapidLCA.
