Generating an Eco Audit Report

When you have completed your product definition, you can use the Report section to analyze the environmental impact of each life phase.

This is the final section of the product definition and incorporates two main features:

  1. Click Summary chart to display the life phase chart for the product.
    This chart updates dynamically as the product definition changes and new products are added for comparison using Compare with....
  2. Click Detailed report to view a component-by-component breakdown of each life phase.

    The detailed report is divided into three sections:

    1. Summary page – provides an overview of the eco audit, with headline values for each life phase. This enables rapid identification of the dominant life phase
    2. Detailed breakdown of energy usage – provides a component-by-component breakdown of each life phase, enabling the main contributors to the dominant phase to be identified
    3. Detailed breakdown of Climate change (CO2-eq) – similar to above, except for Climate change (CO2-eq).

You can add an image and notes to the eco audit report in the Report section of the Product definition, and Print or Export the report to Excel, Word, and PDF via the Report menubar.
