Thank you very much Nageswara, these references can help me a lot :)

At this link you'll find several examples of how developing a "certified" LCA analysis for several products and services: it refers to an international standard, i.e. The EPD, environmental product declaration defined in the ISO 14025.

Thanx a lot Maria :)

you can download from my profile on research gate some papers containing examples of LCA aplied to PV modules and to buildings

this really very kind of you Francesco

You can download some of my papers in my profile in research gate where LCA has been applied for different kind of projects as the evaluation tool.

Please find below a link to the GHG Protocol Product GHG accounting standard. While it focuses on GHG the approach can apply to other impact areas. It also contains quite a few examples.
