Join the BETA test for our new AI-powered plausibility checker! Share your feedback & Get early access!

The One Click LCA team is thrilled to announce a major upgrade to our Plausibility Checker! This powerful new version utilizes cutting-edge AI to help you verify the accuracy of your LCA data. Here’s what’s new:

  • AI Automation: Our AI model, trained on thousands of real-world projects, predicts expected environmental impacts and quantities based on your project’s specifics like location, structural frame, certifications, and number of floors. This automation saves you time and increases accuracy.
  • Benchmark Graphs: Easily compare your project’s performance against industry benchmarks with insightful visualizations.
  • Improved User Interface: A redesigned interface makes it easier than ever to navigate and utilize the Plausibility Checker’s features.

With these enhancements, the Plausibility Checker offers more extensive, accurate, and customized checks, ensuring your LCA data is reliable and robust.

The new interface features two helpful graphs:

  • “Results in Range”: This graph highlights data points outside the typical range for similar projects, making it easy to spot potential errors.
  • “Benchmark Values”: This graph shows the expected distribution of each metric based on real-world projects. Any outliers falling outside this range are clearly displayed, indicating potential data anomalies.

Share your thoughts in the comments or, better yet, schedule a discussion with us here.

Want early access? We can enable a preview version of this feature for you upon request.

Hello,
I’m willing to learn more about benefits of AI in LCA

Hi Aysenur! I’d like to thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, I could not find a project linked to your account. The new plausibility checker gives you feedback on your results and without a project, the testing is quite difficult.

If you are generally interested in the benefits and application of AI in LCA, then there will be more information shared in the near future. We are working on several related features, some of which are explained on our website page dedicated to AI. You can find that here: AI-Powered LCA Software for Sustainable Construction | One Click LCA

Do let me know if you have any further questions!

Can i get access to this?

Kind regards Simon

Hi Simon,

Absolutely, I have added it to your license.

Here’s how to find the benchmarking feature:

  1. Make sure your project has the following:
  • Certification type filled in (under project information)
  • The structural frame type selected in the design
  • Gross floor area entered in the design
  1. Save your project and run the calculation.
  2. Go to the results page. The benchmarking button will be visible there if your project has sufficient data.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Steven,

If this feature is available for product LCA/EPD users, I’d be interested in trying it as well.

Thanks and all the best,
Graham

Hi Graham!

This feature is designed specifically for building LCA tools. We also recently launched an ‘EPD Quality Checker’ which currently includes three checks: mass balance, biogenic balance, and energy balance.

The EPD Quality Checker is included with the Manufacturer Power user pack. You can try it free for two weeks if this seems interesting for you?

We developed this tool (and will continue adding more checks) to help you identify errors before verification, saving you time and reducing the need for revisions.

Let me know what you think :+1:

Hi Steven,
Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, a two week trial of the EPD Quality Checker would be great, thank you. If you have a Help page or documentation for it, that would also be helpful.
All the best,
Graham

Hi There, i am keen to review how this works as i already have started using IFC to excel to OneClick in preference over the Revit plugin due to design models not having materials classified. thanks

Hi Graham, I will add this to your license, I’ll get an article on the feature ready for you today and share it here later. As it’s the first iteration of the feature it will be enhanced with more checks throughout this year.

Hi David! Thank you for your interest in testing the new AI plausibility checker, for this specific tool I need to know which license to add it to. Could you send me which license you use in a private message? Additionally you could also contact support and they will be able to add the feature to your license.

Hi Graham, the first version of the help center article you can find here: EPD Quality Checker - Help center article

Thanks Steven, very helpful. Can’t wait to try it.

Hi Stephen, I would also be interested in this new development, would it be possible to be given access to the tool? Thanks.

Hi Cameron! I will add it to your license right away. In a few posts above I have explained how you can get it to generate results in your project.

Let me know what you think! It’s based on a larger dataset than the existing LCA checker feature.

Hi, I’m also interested in trying it. If you can add it to my license? thanks!

Hi Huda! I have added the feature to your license. As I mentioned in the previous post, instructions are a bit higher up in this post.

Let us know what you think :slight_smile:
