Do you know how to use Parameters?
Greetings!

Parameters help you to do sensitivity analysis on your study.  They allow you to quickly make different versions of your model for comparison, and also provide the ability to link a study to outside concurrent data to easily create a new analysis. 
A person skilled in the use of parameters is a valuable asset to an LCA study, bringing with them the capability to efficiently calculate the "what if's" and/or changes that occur.
EarthShift offers you this knowledge through our online Parameters course.  This course will start with a basic review for those who have not yet used parameters in SimaPro and then move on to non-linear modeling, linking to Excel data, and SQL queries.   The next course is coming up November 19.  Don't miss out!
Beyond Building Green
Learn the science of creating enduring, low energy buildings 
A building uses far more energy and resources over its
lifetime than it took to create it. Reducing the long term energy and maintenance profile is the first priority for every responsible green building design. Join our building science educator in this seminar covering the essential design considerations every green building professional should know before starting a low energy building project.
Do you want to be part of the defining movement for Social LCA?
 
The UNEP SETAC Life Cycle Initiative Working Group for Social LCA is looking for new members.
