Automation and AI tools are changing how LCAs and EPDs are built, scaled and verified, but current standards say little about how to evaluate them. This white paper from the ACLCA Automation Tools Working Group gives practitioners, software developers, verifiers, program operators and buyers a shared framework.
What's inside:
- A taxonomy of LCA automation tools, from static to AI-driven
- Six categories of verification, including for continuously updated software platforms
- Recommended disclosure of automation and AI use in studies and public claims
- The role of human oversight
