Getting Started

This section will help you quickly getting started with your time-explicit LCA project. We’re keeping it simple here - no deep dives into how things work in the background, no exploring of all the features and options bw_timex has. Just a quick walkthrough of the different steps of a TimexLCA. Here’s a rundown:

In the following sections, we’ll walk through the steps 1-4, considering a very simple dummy system. If you directly want to look at a more complex example, take a look at our example collection. If you’re interested in the full details on how bw_timex works, you can also skip to our Theory Section. For some general guidance on what kind of LCA is suitable for what kind of case, check out our decision tree.
