When evaluating the various attributes of a product, there are several standardized tools that have proven to be invaluable. Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) assesses the economic impacts of a product, and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) determines the environmental impact of a product over its entire lifespan. The results of the LCA are reported in a comprehensive document called an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
