Building & Infrastructure LCA
- NEW! A new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) tool for the UK, compliant with government regulation is
now available in BETA. The new Biodiversity Net Gain tool has been developed in partnership with UK Hab Ltd to use the UK Habitat Classification system, ensuring calculations and results are aligned with the Government's statutory biodiversity metric tool. - Improvements to AI-powered matching of imported materials increase match accuracy by a factor of 10. Materials data from your import file are now more accurately matched with resources in the One Click LCA database. For example, materials in your import files that are not automatically assigned a match in the One Click LCA database have decreased by 90%.
- Projects are assigned a street address with geographic coordinates to enable location-based features and services in the future.
- The BETA version of the new data input user interface is now available to users of tools PAS 2080 (incl. HS2), Envision International and LEED International.
Product LCA & EPD Software
- The Luminaires EPD Generator has been officially verified by EPD Hub to follow the applicable
standards, EPD Hub General Program instructions and the EPD Hub PCR. This verification allows fully automated publishing of 3rd party verified EPDs after completing Manufacturing site data verification and three EPD verification processes manually. This will help especially large luminaire manufacturers generate EPDs fast, at scale and with low marginal cost.
General improvements
- A new feature is available for internal project and data verification by an assigned internal verifier. The new internal verification feature allows your organisation to ensure consistent quality of the LCA calculations performed in One Click LCA. This will help organisations that have internal quality assurance teams and processes to ensure all LCA projects are done according to internal quality standards.
