Notebooks used in the advanced LCA course (uses Brightway version 2.3 also called "legacy" or simply "brightway2")

These notebooks introduce to the use of the Brightway2 LCA software. They have been used in multiple editions of the "Advanced LCA" course at Aalborg University. More primitive versions are available at the B4B repository.

Videos explaining the notebooks are available at my blog together with other introductory LCA teaching videos.

Disclaimer: note that both the notebooks and the videos are de-contextualized from the teaching activities that usually integrate them. This teaching activities usually include exercises, Q&A, and more extensive explanations. Therefore, even though most of them can work as a stand-alone resource they were not initially designed as such.

Folder "Course-Material-bw25"

Includes some of the same content as in the "Course-material" folder but using brightway version 2.5.

Tutorials on sensitivity and uncertainty analysis use a different approach than in the bw2 version (do not use parameters).

Folder "Specific-bw-tasks"

Contains several various short notebooks to perform specific types of LCA analysis tasks in brightway, for example:

  • importing and exporting a database
  • performing paired-samples montecarlo simulation
  • Global Sensitivity analysis with FAST algorithm
  • ...

Some of these notebooks are incomplete or under preparation (See under "work in progress")

Most notebooks were written using bw2.3 version.
