Presentation of results in Umberto NXT LCA
The software offers several comfortable opportunities for presenting and displaying the results, depending on the task, use and detail level. -
"Select Activity Type" in Umberto NXT LCA
By drag & drop from the ecoinvent database you can easily place activity datasets into the model, including the choice of activity type (unit or result). -
Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database ecoinvent
The largest inventory database ecoinvent with more than 4000 transparent, harmonized and well-documented generic LCA data records is integrated in Umberto. The entire datasets can be comfortably used in your Umberto model. -
User Interface of Umberto 5
A glance at the work environment of Umberto. It's so easy to get started with the software. Materials can be comfortably managed in the material tree. Your projects are modeled in the illustrated editor. -
Process Specification with Parameters
In Umberto you can specify your input-output relations of processes with parameters. -
Analyze and Compare Balances
After each calculation you can not only view the results at the relative elements of the net – they can also be shown and processed as input-output balances. The calculated balances can be evaluated in many ways. With Umberto it is also possible to compare two or more balance sheets. All balance sheet results or parts of results can be displayed as diagrams and exported to excel. -
Create Diagrams
Choose from several two- and three-dimensional chart types and individual settings such as font and color. The chart illustrates the composition of energy costs. Umberto contains a spreadsheet component, so all results can be exported to excel. -
Visualization as Sankey Diagram
Visualize models as Sankey diagrams, e.g. for carbon, energy, material and cost flows. -
Define Performance Indicators
Define performance indicators independently with Umberto. The software also supports standard valuation systems such as CML methodology and product carbon footprint. -
Mathematical Functions
Describe input-output relations in Umberto using linear or non-linear mathematical functions.
