Municipal LCA tool

I developed a standardized LCA reporting and analysis tool for Silkeborg Municipality, enabling consistent documentation, presentation, and comparison of environmental performance across projects. The tool was accompanied by a set of methodological guidelines defining how life cycle assessment should be applied at different project stages and scales. This ensured alignment between consultants and internal stakeholders and strengthened the municipality’s ability to use LCA as a decision-support tool rather than solely a compliance exercise. A standardized regulatory baseline, aligned with Danish requirements, was established to allow comparison across cases and over time. This created a structured framework for benchmarking and long-term performance tracking. The project concluded with a workshop on circularity and material reuse from a consequential LCA perspective. Here, I presented how markets differentiate between virgin and reused materials, and how these dynamics influence environmental impacts over time.
