Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) is an approach to assess the environmental impacts in conjunction with economic impacts under consideration of technical boundary conditions. Scope of the assessment is usually the whole life cycle of a product consisting of production, use phase and end of life. The environmental impacts are assessed according to the ecological life cycle assessment (LCA). The economic impacts are assessed according to the life cycle costing (LCC) approach. Technical boundary conditions are taken into account providing some limitations on the model, thus verifying the technical feasibility.
