Databases
SIMAPRO – RELIABLE DATABASES AND METHODS
SimaPro is equipped with many LCI datasets, including the renowned ecoinvent database, the new industry-specific Agri-footprint database, and the ELCD database.
The methods are consistent and transparent, allowing you to easily zoom in on your results through the different stages of your LCA.
DATA LIBRARY
An LCA is only as good and relevant as the data used. To effectively build and analyze LCA models, transparent, high-quality, and industry-accepted data for the most commonly used materials and processes are required. Quality datasets are included in your SimaPro license.
With SimaPro, you gain access to the largest and most relevant data libraries. In the program, all results can be traced back to their origin with just a few mouse clicks. You can easily zoom in on “hotspots” or areas of focus. All datasets are harmonized in terms of structure, nomenclature, and are well-suited for life cycle impact assessment methods.
SimaPro includes the following databases by default:
- ecoinvent v3.x LCI database (ask for a specific offer if you do not need it)
- Agri-Footprint LCI database (2019)
- European reference Life Cycle Database (ELCD, ILCD)
- U.S. Life Cycle Inventory Database (USLCI 2012)
- Danish and EU Input Output Database
- Industry data library: PlasticsEurope, ERASM, World Steel
- Swiss Input-Output-Database (2005)
Also available free of charge:
Service contract for perpetual licenses
A service contract provides access to updates for the SimaPro software, as well as included LCI libraries and LCIA methods. It also offers unlimited technical support regarding the installation and functionality of SimaPro.
COSTS FOR SERVICE CONTRACTS
When you buy a new SimaPro license, the service contract is always included in the license price for the first year. The service contract is valid for one year and must be renewed at the same time as the previous contract is terminated. It is not possible to cancel the service contract during the agreed period. If you choose a two-year contract right away, you will save 5% of the annual costs, for a three-year contract you will save 10%.
