The Private data feature is available to all Expert license users. It requires you to create a company account, instructions for which can be found here.
The Private Data feature in One Click LCA lets Expert license users add custom data to their company account, keeping project-specific information organized and accessible. Here's how it works:
Requirements:
- Expert License: You'll need an active Expert license.
- Company Account: A company account is necessary for managing private data. (Instructions for creating a company account can be found here.
- Main User Role: To add private data, you must be designated as a "Main User" within your organization. Multiple users can have this role.
Benefits:
- Centralized Data: Store and manage your private data securely in your company account.
- Easy Access: All users associated with your company's license can access and use this private data in their projects.
- Collaboration: Easily share private data with colleagues and streamline your LCA workflows.
Adding Private Data:
-
Data Management: Go to your company account and navigate to the "Data Management" tab.
- Edit Private Datasets: Click "Edit" to view existing private datasets or create new ones.
-
Add New Data: Click "Add new private data" and choose the relevant data type:
- Building Materials: Select the appropriate option based on your LCA tool (CML, TRACI, INIES, etc.).
-
Other Data: Options are available for GHG reporting, energy data, transportation profiles, and EPD tools.
-
General Information: Provide details like name, reference unit, thickness (if applicable), density (if applicable), resource type, dataset type, and country.
- Data Description: Include the data source and upstream database.
-
Environmental Data: Enter environmental data e.g. +A2, CML, TRACI, or both, ensuring it matches your chosen reference unit.
- Additional Data (Optional): Add biogenic carbon content, resource use, waste categories, and other relevant indicators.
-
Enable for LCA: In "Data properties," enable the data for use in your LCA calculations. Note: This makes the data available in certification tools like BREEAM and LEED, and you are responsible for data compliance.
- Other Indicators (Optional): You can include additional indicator data, but remember that not all tools may utilize this information.
Important Notes:
- You cannot add data points to regulated datasets like the Dutch NMD database.
- Transportation impacts cannot be added initially but can be edited later in the building materials query.
- One Click LCA recommends using the public database whenever possible to ensure compliance with standards and certifications.
