LCA results presentation

[bsteubing]

How to display LCA results in informative and graphically appealing ways? Here some ideas:
Different plots
• Inventory level (economic/environmental flows)
• LCA score(s) (Barchart, Piechart, Treemap…)
• Contribution Analyses (by process, elementary flow, product, geography, ISIC sector) (Barchart, Treemap, Piechart, Worldmap for geo)
• Uncertainties: Monte Carlo (possibly also others, e.g. Latin-Hypercube) (needs also to integrated in to calculation setups)
Tables to export the data
• To be developed first
User choices:
• LCIA method, cut-off

I guess you are already aware of lcopt which is also based on bw2.
If not it has some very nice visualization which you can see in the video here. Especially the treemap and the sanburst graph are very nice and might be easy to integrate them in AB.

We basically achieved all of this now, but other inputs and feature requests are welcome of course!

Something that can be (easily I guess) improved:

As usually the lower the impact result is, the "greener" it should be. So a color from green (lower value) to red (high value) would be more intuitive.

thanks for this input. The AB has been further developed in the meantime (check out the latest development version). But hints like this (or code implementations) are always welcome.

Closing this as stale
