A graphical interface for exploring, editing, and calculating Brightway life-cycle-assessment projects.
About the Project
Why use this?
Activity Browser provides a visual interface for Brightway, allowing users to browse databases, edit activities and exchanges, create scenarios, and run LCA calculations without writing Python code for every operation. It makes Brightway’s flexible calculation engine accessible to analysts who prefer a desktop workflow.
Environmental engineers choose Activity Browser when they want Brightway’s open, scriptable LCA capabilities with a GUI. Changes made through the interface are reflected in the underlying Brightway project, enabling a practical combination of visual modeling and Python-based automation. [364][369]
