Author(s) : IIF-IIR, HWANG Y.

Type of article: Informatory note

Summary

In 2012, the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) has set up a Working Group in order to assess the merits of the Life Cycle Climate Performance (LCCP) methodology. This Informatory Note summarizes the LCCP guideline prepared by the Working Group for performing LCCP calculations of refri-geration and air-conditioning systems. It provides recommended assumptions and data sources for different types of units, presents the various existing LCCP tools and outlines usage and limitations of LCCP. The author concludes that LCCP is a holistic metric for quantifying the environmental impacts of HVAC&R units over their lifetime and should be an essential tool in the future selection, development and implementation of these units.
