Life Cycle Impact Models
For buildings
Whole-Building Energy Modeling
Two open source tools from the Department of Energy for building energy modeling.
Here is
an introduction to this model and the software.
For vehicles
GREET
GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation Model) includes vehicle and fuel life cycle information.
For power grids
HOMER
HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) is used to model microgrids and renewable electricity.
eGRID
Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (EPA)
For state and national economies
EIO-LCA
The Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment model shows energy use and environmental factors from along supply chains.
USEEIO (used by EPA)
The United States Environmentally Extended Input-Output Model also models environmental life cycles of goods and services at a national level.
Here's a
2018 comparison of the USEEIO and EIO-LCA models.
