Embodied and Operational Energy #301

Closed amraladdin closed 8 years ago

amraladdin commented 8 years ago

For the Embodied Energy and Operational Energy, I strongly suggest the following:

  1. To change in the documentation the title Primary energy demand and emissions to Operational energy demand and emissions.
  2. Differentiate between the names of the output results to the following:
    • For Embodied Energy E_ghg_ton,E_ghg_kgm2,E_pen_GJ,E_pen_MJm2
    • For Operational Energy O_ghg_ton,O_ghg_kgm2,O_pen_GJ,O_pen_MJm2
    • For Mobility M_ghg_ton,M_ghg_kgm2,M_pen_GJ,M_pen_MJm2

Separate (but related) note: if the "emissions" script calculates not only the operational greenhouse gas emissions but also the operational primary energy demand... Shouldn't it rather be called "operation"?

Even the output files are called "*_LCA_operation.csv"

Is this question directed to me or Jimeno?
