FLOWSA is part of a suite of tools called TIEM created for the purposes of improving access to data and making models more transparent for industrial ecology. FLOWSA relies on additional TIEM tools:

  1. Federal-LCA-Commons-Elementary-Flow-List
    Maps Flow-By-Activity flows to standardized FlowName and Context values.
  2. Standardized Emission and Waste Inventories (StEWI)
    Provides USEPA facility-based emission and waste generation inventory data in standardized formats.
  3. esupy: tool ecosystem utilities for Python
    Contains common functions used across USEPA Python packages for Industrial Ecology Modeling.
