Realizations

(A) coupled

The coupled-realization of the internalizeLCAimpacts module.

Limitations There are no known limitations.

(B) off

The off-realization of the internalizeLCAimpacts module sets the parameter ADD PARAMETER NAME to zero, meaning no social costs related to environmental impacts are included in the optimization.

Limitations There are no known limitations.
