On the Imaginary Accuracy of the LCA on the Basis of the Houseboat in Hamburg (Holistic Approach)

To our knowledge, for the first time in the history of the life cycle assessment, the LCA analysis of the houseboats used for residential purposes has been conducted while testing a new software program eLCA in its Beta version. In cooperation with the Coop Waterhouse GmbH and with the Architektenbü...
