WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction and engineering teams manually calculate embodied carbon for materials and buildings, requiring hours of data research across fragmented databases. Compliance with 140+ certification standards (LEED, BREEAM, EU regulations) involves tedious manual mapping and recalculation. This delays sustainability assessments until detailed design phases when material choices are already locked in.

The Solution

Automates LCA calculations with AI-powered BIM integration, accessing 500,000+ verified environmental datasets across 170+ countries. Platform maps building materials automatically from Revit/BIM models to environmental product declarations (EPDs), generates compliance-ready reports for 140+ standards, and enables early-design sustainability analysis before specifications are finalized.
