Teco | Teco extension for LCA calculations

Teco is a Python library. Teco has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Ambitious sustainability and carbon reduction goals in the building sector require the large-scale determination of environmental impacts. Building energy demands in the operational phase are a crucial element to be considered. To fully reflect the building life cycle, emissions from all life phases - construction, operation, dismantling, re-usage - have to be analysed. This goes in accordance with the 11th United Nations Sustainable Goal of making cities and human settlements sustainable. At the same time, this analysis is generally data-intensive. With the increasing availability of 3D building models, particularly CityGML datasets, using such data is advantageous to the UBEM community and the life cycle assessment workflow. Since CityGML data is mainly geometric, Teco offers an enrichment procedure for building materials, utilities and respective environmental indicators based on DIN EN 15804. Thus, the Teco extension enhances the existing feature set and abilities of the TEASER+ tool, and allows the integration of 3D city models for urban-scale, ecological life cycle analyses.
