Several of the aspects addressed in this guidance define a ‘standard set of parameter values’ for a study, e.g. a default reference study period. This standard set of parameter values is denoted as baseline scenario and provides a basis that allows for comparisons between different studies, e.g. two building LCA studies. The baseline scenario generally…
