In our recent tutorial, we demonstrated how to create an LCA for hollow-core concrete slabs—an interesting challenge given the material’s non-uniform nature. Since hollow-core slabs are not solid, it’s essential to avoid treating them as such in LCA calculations.
In our free online course, “One Click LCA for Rhino/Grasshopper,” chapter 4, lesson “Complex LCA profiles,” we highlight vital steps such as using the correct EPD data, adjusting for non-massive sections, and even applying a correction factor when changing slab thicknesses.
If you’ve worked with hollow-core slabs or other complex assemblies, how do you ensure accurate LCA results?
Do you rely on calculating correction factors manually, or do you use other approaches, such as Rhino geometry manipulation, to model mass and material more precisely?
