The Athena Institute has prepared this report in an effort to provide an indication of the inner workings of the EcoCalculator for Assemblies, i.e., what the tool does and how it does it. Assemblies within the tool are highlighted and definitions of the impact measures are further explained.

A similar transparency document is provided for our Impact Estimator software, from which the EcoCalculator is derived. This document provides an understanding of the inner workings of the Impact Estimator and, in view of the Impact Estimator’s parent software role, is fundamental to a full understanding of the EcoCalculator. This document should be referenced for more detailed background information on key factors and considerations.
