On the possibilities of multilevel analysis to cover data gaps in consequential S-LCA: Case of multistory residential building

Life cycle inventory analysis modelling in LCSA: from basic aspects to advanced techniques

“…For consequential LCA studies, a consequential database exists (the consequential version of ecoinvent (Weidema et al, 2013)) and it has been applied abundantly. On the contrary, consequential S-LCA has been rarely applied, Fauzi et al (2022) being one example, and only one limited consequential S-LCA database exists, namely SOCA (version 2), which covers some social impacts for the processes of the ecoinvent database (version 3.7.1), and thus also its consequential system model, by associating processes with sectors from PSILCA (version 3) (GreenDelta GmbH, 2021). There are also the few S-LCA categories covered in EXIOBASE, for which a limited consequential version exists (Merciai, 2019;Merciai and Schmidt, 2018) and can partially address this need.…”
