Building & Infrastructure LCA

• NEW: A new tool is now available for building life cycle assessment according to the Miljöbyggnad 4.0 certification scheme announced by Sweden Green Building Council. This tool allows calculations for the full life cycle of the building (A-C LCA stages) and the results are reported with and without the conservative factor of the Swedish national database. This tool is automatically added to all existing building LCA licenses in Sweden.
• NEW: A new MEP systems tool is now available to help you calculate the life cycle carbon of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. With this tool, you can add MEP-related materials, energy and water consumption, and refrigerant impacts over the life cycle of the asset. You have access to material data from all supported publicly available EPD databases as well as generic data from One Click LCA and various country-specific databases.
• Update: You can now use the One Click LCA plugin with Autodesk Revit 2024, see material names in your selected language, save mappings & settings for later use, reset settings to default, and opt to exclusively use QNG or BR18 data.
• Update: The interior design carbon tool has been updated to support +A2 data, including environmental product declarations with impacts according to EN 15804+A2.
• Update: Carbon Heroes Benchmarks have been updated, giving you access to unique benchmark analysis from thousands of buildings using One Click LCA for life cycle assessment.
• 244 new One Click LCA Generic datapoints and over 900 new Industry datapoints (EPDs).
