LCA Toolkit clean up discussion notes

[michaelhoehn]

Description:

Notes from a discussion with @mchaf @shivanierambaran @IsakNaslundBh @kayleighhoude regarding toolkit cleanup during our PR closure event. Notes below should be ticked off as addressed in the coming sprints/milestones and this issue should be closed when all points have been discussed.

Notes from the discussion

• Refactor of EPD class (full sprint, planning session required)
• Align project scope fields based on desired database host metadata requirements
• Raw material LCA composition is used as an input often in lieu of EPD. Similar to TM65 magic (@kayleighhoude @IsakNaslundBh)
• Evaluation Method Based on CIBSE TM65 Embodied Carbon for Building Services #204
• Eval methods fail if GWP value is negative #162
• Strategy for reporting in general. How do we want to display and store results for data visualisations downstream (planning session required)
• Documentation refresh
• Sample scripts added to OS repo and all documentation used externally (@mchaf)
• Description refresh for all methods and updation with the API
• Evaluate EPD without Insulation on Pipe/Duct #252 (@kayleighhoude to check)
• Update Evaluate method to make use of Material mapping methods #286 (@IsakNaslundBh to check)

Other outcomes from the discussion

• Moved this issue Structure_oM: Metal Deck - object maker BHoM#1464 (FYI @FraserGreenroyd )
