Adjusting material manufacturing compensation settings

What does this feature do?

This feature gives you the ability to compensate individual materials to local manufacturing. More information on the local compensation setting, which is part of the LCA parameters, you can find here: Parameters. 

How do you use this feature?

Navigate to the 'Building material' question form and find the 'local compensation' setting. There you can easily decide to not apply or e.g. choose a different country to represent manufacturing conditions from that target country. After you have chosen your new choices, press 'save' and the results will be recalculated.

Easily change the local compensations settings

Is this feature available to me?

The possibility to adjust the local compensation is included in all Expert package licenses.
