This feature allows you to determine a custom classification for all inputs on your projects. Results can then be displayed per these classifications similarly to tool-specific building part classifications. Private classifications can be used to show results for different sections of multi-purpose building types as well as different facilities for GHG reporting purposes or different phases/facilities of the manufacturing chain in product calculations.
How do you use private classifications?
- Having an Expert license
- Having created a company account (how to set up a company account)
- To add, publish (make available to others on company account) or edit private classifications, you need to be the 'Main user' of the company account (multiple users can be set as ‘Main users’).

Current limitations on the feature
Private Classifications are not available for tools that require calculation scheme specific classifications for results submission (E+C-, BREEAM UK Mat 01). The feature is also not yet available for all the building calculation tools but will be added later. If you have questions on if your calculation tool should have the feature enabled, you can always contact our support.
