The CombinedLifeCycleAssessmentFactors is inheriting from the following base type(s) and implements the following interfaces:

Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the class

Name Type Description Quantity
EnvironmentalProductDeclaration EnvironmentalProductDeclaration THe Environmental Product Declaration as the basis for the life cycle assessment. Commnly outlines the metrics for A1-A3 modules, but might contain metrics beyond those modules. -
A4TransportFactors ITransportFactors Factors for computing the emissions relating to Module A4 which captures the impacts associated with the transportation of the materials and components from the factory gate to and from the project site. -
C2TransportFactors ITransportFactors Factors for computing the emissions relating to Module C2. Module C2 Transport impacts consists of any carbon impacts associated with the transportation of material from deconstruction and demolition to the appropriate final location, including any interim stations. -
