Working Group - Life Cycle Climate Performance Guideline update (LCCP2)

Objectives of the working group

The objectives of the Working Group are:

• Review and update assumptions and baseline reference data 
• Update calculations to include emissions due to material acquisition 
• Update reference data such as GWP and emission values based on the latest scientific information 
• Clarify emission factors to include boundary conditions, such as emissions due to upstream activities 
• Expand coverage of equipment, refrigerants, and materials 
• Include support for other energy standards and regions; perhaps representative climate regions 
• Balance calculation complexity with reasonable ease of use 
• Provide example calculations in the form of spreadsheets 
• Provide an outlook on Life Cycle Assessment to capture environmental impacts beyond climate change 
• Conduct outreach activities such as webinars and presentations at technical events to improve visibility and promotion
