IfcLCA-Py is a Python package for Life Cycle Assessment using Ifc data.

IfcLCA-Py

IfcLCA-Py is a Python package — currently under development — designed to perform Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis using Industry Foundation Classes (Ifc) data. It serves as a toolkit for evaluating the impact of embodied emissions in construction projects, providing low-level logic for in-depth analysis.

Possible Features

• IFC Data Reading: Load and interpret Ifc files, extracting detailed information about building elements and their associated materials.
• IFC 5d: Get the relevant quantities per element to be analyzed, such as GrossVolume etc.
• Material Database Integration: Connect with an environmental impact database to fetch material properties, such as carbon footprint and density.
• LCA Analysis: Calculate embodied emissions based on Ifc data, quantites and environmental impact data.
• Optioneering Support: Explore multiple options or configurations to identify possible solutions.
• Reporting: Generate reports detailing the environmental impacts & save results in Ifc.
