Does the LCA in vyzn include operational energy?

Last updated August 7, 2026

Explanation

No. The LCA app assesses per SIA 2032 the "construction scope", i.e., the grey (embodied) environmental impact:

  • Manufacturing (modules A1-A3) - Replacement during use (B4) - Disposal (C)

Operational energy (heating, hot water, electricity) is not included. It is covered separately, among others via the integrated Energy Efficiency app (SIA 380/1).
