Primes¶
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- LCA is not a regulatory substitute — while LCA is incorporated into regulatory requirements (EU Product Environmental Footprint labeling, LEED certification, carbon taxes), LCA conclusions depend on boundary assumptions and data that reflect current conditions; regulatory application requires explicit methodology rules to ensure comparability and prevent gaming, a point Curran (2017) emphasizes in her treatment of goal and scope definition as the load-bearing methodology step.
This sourceTreats the goal-and-scope phase as the load-bearing methodology step that fixes functional unit, system boundary, allocation rules, and comparability constraints for regulatory and decision contexts.
