Free for students and teachers
Student license
LCAbyg is free while you study or teach. You get everything in Pro, so you can run real LCA calculations as part of your studies or your teaching.
Students
- Create an account at app.lcabyg.dk/register with your student email.
- Choose the free student license.
- Sign in at app.lcabyg.dk and get started. You get access straight away; the licence is validated later.
Teachers
- Sign up the same way as students.
- Use LCAbyg in your teaching.
- Got a whole class? See For teachers.
Sign up with your student email
Use the email address your educational institution has given you. We use it to validate that you are a student. If you signed up with a different email, we cannot confirm it.
Signed up with a different email?
- Download your projects from the account you created.
- Create a new account at app.lcabyg.dk/register with your student email.
- Upload your projects to the new account.
What you get
- Everything in Pro: full calculation engine A–D, environmental data, analyses, versions, sharing and private libraries
- Up to 3 projects at a time
- The same interface as the paid licenses
- For one person only: you cannot be in a group with others, and you cannot add others to your account
The student license must not be used for commercial or professional work. It is personal and strictly for educational use.
For teachers
Students sign themselves up. Each student creates a free student license at app.lcabyg.dk/register with their student email. No application, no waiting – easiest when the class just needs to get going.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when I finish studying?
You can upgrade to a paid license (Basis or Pro) and carry on with your projects. Otherwise we recommend downloading your projects before the student license expires.
May I use the student license for paid work?
No. The student license is personal and only for study and teaching. As soon as a calculation forms part of paid work, a consulting project or anything outside your studies, a paid license (Basis or Pro) is required.
Can several students be in a group together?
No. The student license is for one person, and you cannot be in a group or organisation with others. Each student creates their own account with their student email. If several people need to use LCAbyg together, you can buy a paid license (Basis or Pro).
Do I have to prove that I am a student or teacher?
Right now you set up the license yourself and get access straight away. Later, you will have to validate your student license to keep access. This requires that you signed up with your student email.
