Resources for working with the BVI method
If you want to understand what the BVI method does and how to use it, take a look at the resources for LCA practitioners. If you work in LCA method development yourself and want to develop your own impact assessment models based on the BVI method, check out the resources for researchers.
Resources for LCA practitioners
Here you will find explanations and working materials for the application of the BVI method. The focus is on the application in the context of LCA, for which it was originally developed. In particular, a tool for calculating the biodiversity value of an area used in a product system is provided. Furthermore, the areas of application of the BVI method are explained, how it fits into the existing LCA framework and which data must be collected for a study.
Resources for researchers
Here you will find background information and justifications for the BVI method, as well as sources for generating characterisation factors according to the BVI method.
