One Click LCA

Buildings contribute 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions — 11% of that comes from materials and construction processes alone. A global 2024 study by One Click LCA reveals that up to 90% of construction professionals view the lack of sufficient environmental data from manufacturers as a major barrier to reducing carbon through smarter material selection. Quantifying the environmental impacts of construction products is essential. Want to be part of the solution?

In the Summer Sustainability Summit, industry leaders from Hydro Building Systems France, BASF, Saint-Gobain, and ArcelorMittal explored the evolution of sustainability priorities in European manufacturing. "Previously in Europe, product performance during usage was the primary focus. While this remains crucial, especially for building renovation regulations, EPDs and low-carbon solutions are becoming equally important. This shift isn't just regulatory-driven - it's responding to growing demands from investors and customers," explains Lucile Souyri, Sustainability Manager at Hydro.

How Ramboll Norway transformed Bergen City Hall while cutting carbon emissions by 60% for renovation vs. new build 👇 When corrosion was discovered in parts of the 1970s Bergen City Hall’s structural reinforcement, Ramboll Norway assessed whether to renovate the historical building or construct a new City Hall. “One Click LCA's Carbon Designer 3D helped us create reference buildings for both options, allowing us to compare materials, carbon emissions, and costs. The software's database also enabled us to evaluate different energy systems. The results showed that renovating the City Hall would generate less carbon emissions than replacing the building with a new one.” — Vegard Selvåg Ulvan, Head of LCA, Ramboll Norway. Key achievements: ✅ 60% carbon reduction vs. new construction ✅ BREEAM 'Very Good' certification ✅ 50-year life extension ✅ Winner: Best Rehabilitation Project 2024 (BREEAM Norway) Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/dPwYrBJi

The three types of EPDs explained simply 👇 Cradle-to-Gate ✅ The baseline EPD ✅ Covers raw materials and manufacturing only ✅ Tells your product's story up until it leaves the factory gates Cradle-to-Gate with options ✅ Builds on the baseline ✅ Includes additional information modules ✅ Offers more flexibility in reporting Cradle-to-Grave ✅ The complete picture ✅ Covers everything from raw materials to maintenance ✅ Includes recycling and end-of-life disposal ✅ Most commonly required for construction projects Remember: EPDs all follow life cycle assessment methodology, but their scope can vary significantly depending on your needs. Which one does your project need? — 👉 Learn more about implementing EPDs: https://lnkd.in/dvNq-BaM 👉 Check out One Click LCA EPD Generator: https://lnkd.in/dKjxwSP9 #Sustainability #Business #Construction #EPD #buildingmaterials

Thank you, RIBA Journal, for breaking the news about the launch of Materials Compass — the world’s largest life-cycle assessment database!   Hear from our Head of LCA Data, Jani Tierala: "Our goal is to integrate all qualifying construction material data, including EPD, CFP, TM65, and generic datasets, as soon as it's available worldwide. Where industry data is lacking, we also produce high-quality generic LCA data for key materials like concrete, steel, wood, glass, plastics, and textiles."   🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dWmgmF39 👉 Learn more about Materials Compass: https://lnkd.in/dsRgcG9n   #Sustainability #LifeCycleAssessment #MaterialsCompass #LCAdatabase #OneClickLCA
