What happens if you expand your system boundaries? What happens if you use other allocation methods? What happens if you change your assumptions?ġ26 Useful for sensitivity analyses What impact does one aspect have when I change its value? Useful for preliminary data: data can be changed easily at the end of your study Create different versions of your life cycle by changing the input values Reduces the likelihood of calculation errorsġ27 Enter calculation rules instead of concrete values more flexibility Available on process, product system, LCIA method, project and database level Local and global parameters parameters can overwrite each other!
