American Center For Life Cycle Assessment

Environmental LCA of Design online event: The annual Environmental Life Cycle Assessment focuses on the most recent developments in Policy, Education, and Communications as they play out at the intersection and execution of Life Cycle Assessment and Design. Join us during this three-day online spring event. Interact with a growing international community of practitioners, working together to design and develop commercially viable interventions to improve the environmental profile of the industrial economy one product, one building, one infrastructure component at a time.

LCA Institute: LCA has traditionally been developed and applied to individual technologies with a focus on results normalized to each functional unit. In a world of climate targets and sweeping technological shifts, however, there is a need to assess environmental impacts at a larger scale looking at aggregate and cumulative emissions across technology fleets.

LCACP exam - certification: The LCACP Certification is a technical professional credential achieved by demonstrated experience and advanced knowledge in the field of LCA and a commitment to the ACLCA Code of Ethics. The LCACP is reserved for professionals with a combination of educational qualifications, years of direct work experience, and publication of critically reviewed ISO-conformant LCA studies.

Break-Through Energy Grant Program - The Breakthrough Energy grant supports ACLCA's PCR Open Standard through increased awareness and understanding of the Open Standard, improved quality and consistency of assessments and data generated using the Standard, enhanced collaboration and networking among stakeholders, increased demand, and uptake of the Standard, and continuous improvement of the Standard. These outcomes are expected to contribute to the wider adoption and effective application of the Open Standard in promoting sustainability and addressing global challenges.
