00:00:02.519 --> 00:00:06.656
We have seen the basis of LCAs,
learned about the goal and scope,

00:00:06.656 --> 00:00:08.588
and looked at life cycle inventories.

00:00:08.928 --> 00:00:13.830
Now it's time to review the procedure for
conducting a lifecycle impact assessment.

00:00:14.364 --> 00:00:17.450
The lifecycle impact assessment
is the last major phase

00:00:17.450 --> 00:00:20.687
of conducting an LCA,
and is the focus of this module.

00:00:21.471 --> 00:00:25.825
In this module,
will identify the key elements in an LCIA,

00:00:26.042 --> 00:00:29.212
as well as the optional steps
that are involved in the process.

00:00:29.763 --> 00:00:34.464
Later, we will go on to outline
how to select which impacts to measure,

00:00:34.701 --> 00:00:37.438
along with the
most common impact categories,

00:00:37.618 --> 00:00:39.859
many of which you may
already be familiar with.

00:00:40.553 --> 00:00:42.679
In the final section of this module,

00:00:42.809 --> 00:00:45.662
we will examine impact assessment models.

00:00:46.196 --> 00:00:50.817
There are some published models,
such as Impact World + and IPCC,

00:00:50.817 --> 00:00:53.670
and we will understand
how using different models

00:00:53.903 --> 00:00:57.924
can affect our LCIA
in terms of yielding different results.
