Design Optimisation Motivation (why we need this feature): To be able to illustrate how future initiative may improve LCA performance., Which regions need the feature?: Global, Which projects types does the feature support?: Buildings, Which ratings systems require the feature?: Not specific,

It would be beneficial to be able to capture initiatives that may occur at different stages over the life cycle e.g. installation of PV array or connection to a zero emissions energy source at a later date etc.
In my particular case, the project had a PPA that did not run for the entire LCA and I was unable to illustrate a zero emissions energy source for the PPA period. Instead a proportional energy mix (both renewable and grid energy) was applied for the entire LCA.
