Technical Reference

premise.clean_datasets	clean_datasets.py contains a number of functions that clean a list of datasets or databases.
premise.data_collection	data_collection.py contains the IAMDataCollection class which collects a number of data, mostly from the IAM file.
premise.geomap	geomap.py contains the Geomap class that allows to find equivalents between the IAM locations and ecoinvent locations.
premise.activity_maps	activity_maps.py contains InventorySet, which is a class that provides all necessary mapping between premise and ecoinvent terminology.
premise.transformation	transformation.py contains the base class TransformationBase, used by other classes (e.g.
premise.electricity	electricity.py contains the class Electricity, which inherits from BaseTransformation.
premise.cement	cement.py contains the class Cement, which inherits from BaseTransformation.
premise.steel
premise.fuels
