  Hello Tom, it's a good idea to share a brief bio about our selves regarding our experience. I've been involved in a living lab research in KU Leuven Ghent Campus with a life cycle thinking (mainly environmental) in an Interreg Project called Circular Biobased Construction Industry. We constructed a circular and biobased residential housing prototype. Then we embarked on a social impact assessment based mainly on qualitative analysis but I've also had a check on SHDB.

    Good to learn more about your experience, Cihan! :) A "living lab" sounds quite exciting. It's interesting, that you mention qualitative analysis and then kind of put that opposed to the SHDB, because I mainly used the SHDB also for more qualitative assessments (hotspot identification). But then mainly the online platform version (not the version that's in SimaPro).

  On and off (more off than on) I've been working on social LCA for ten years. Experience with the SHDB database and methodology for a project with the municipality of Amsterdam and now in a project on the recycling of flooring systems called CISUFLO.
