During 2022-2024 RdS research activities, an R package computing the the Commodity Life-Cycle Costing (CLCC), an economic indicator measuring natural resource consumption by product\/processes during their life-cycle, was developed. R is a programming language and software environment for statistical analysis, data visualization and text-editing supported by several operating systems and that is fully open-source. The development of an R package to calculate the CLCC indicator is aimed at increasing the visibility of a product of RSE\u2019s research activities and to make it easy, for external LCA and LCC practitioners, to use the indicator in their analyses and to enhance reproducibility. The package contains functions to compute both the baseline and critical CLCC indicators as well as to perform uncertainty analyses with the Monte Carlo method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[1332],"targets":[1317],"rapporti_tipologie":[762],"class_list":["post-204565","rapporti","type-rapporti","status-publish","hentry","tag-lca-en","targets-research","rapporti_tipologie-report-en"],"acf":{"dont_show_hompage":true,"projects":{"ID":188409,"post_author":"93","post_date":"2024-06-13 15:10:21","post_date_gmt":"2024-06-13 13:10:21","post_content":"","post_title":"Electrochemical and thermal storage technologies","post_excerpt":"The goal of this project is to develop electrochemical and thermal storage technologies with improved performance and greater environmental and economic sustainability by optimizing the use of resources, material formulations and synthesis methods, diagnostic and control processes, and prototype design.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"electrochemical-and-thermal-storage-technologies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-07-06 15:23:41","post_modified_gmt":"2024-07-06 13:23:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rse-web.it\/progetti\/electrochemical-and-thermal-storage-technologies\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"progetti","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"order_posts":"","dont_show_search":false,"related_posts":false,"show_on_slider":false,"single_post_data":{"titolo_spot":"","post_content":"
One of the products of the RSE research activities in this three-year period 2022-2024 is an R software package to compute the Commodity Life-Cycle Costing (CLCC), an economic indicator measuring natural resource consumption by products\/processes during their life-cycle. R is a programming language and software environment for, among other things, statistical analysis, data visualization and text-editing, supported by several operating systems and that is fully open-source. R is becoming increasingly popular among scientists and professionals for its versatility and because it allows the fully reproducibility of results.<\/p>\n

An R software package is an organized collection of functions to perform a very specific task that usually expands the standard capabilities of the software. Packages are a great way to organize code and to share it with others. The development of an R package to calculate the CLCC indicator is aimed at increasing the visibility of a product of RSE\u2019s research activities and to make it easy, for external LCA and LCC practitioners, to use the indicator in their analyses.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The functions contained in the package allow to use, as input, spreadsheets generated by the popular LCA software SimaPro, to calculate a version of the indicator considering critical materials only and to run uncertainty analyses with Monte Carlo techniques.<\/p>\n
