Today, the importance of using comprehensive indicators to estimate real green house gas emissions of systems over their lifetime has never been more critical.

This guide provides a harmonised method to calculate the LCCP for all types of stationary airconditioning, heat pumping and refrigeration systems. The process and assumptions with which LCCP should be approached are explored in-depth.

The guide offers designers, facility operators, manufacturers, and policy makers a way to effectively evaluate and compare the environmental impact of different systems over the course of their lifetimes.
