Landscape Life Cycle Analysis Tool

The Landscape Life Cycle Analysis (LLCA) Tool evaluates landscapes through comprehensive lens that considers the landscape’s tangible and intangible resource requirements. The LLCA tool is designed to estimate landscape resource needs beyond the financial cost and water demand, incorporating energy inputs, labor, maintenance materials and climate impacts. By including multiple variables in a life cycle assessment, the LLCA tool enables users to compare landscape designs and understand the tradeoffs among them.
