Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and One Click LCA, the leading sustainability software platform for construction and manufacturing, announce a partnership to improve the accuracy of environmental assessments in electrification. The first-of-its-kind environmental initiative addresses the critical shortage of MEP products needed to decarbonize building services.
“The building industry needs reliable environmental data to make informed decisions. By making our MEP product data publicly available through One Click LCA’s platform, we aim to set a new standard for transparency in our industry,” says Sorouch Kheradmand, Global Head of Partner Sustainability at Schneider Electric.
“Access to manufacturer MEP product data has been a significant gap in building life-cycle assessments. This first-of-its-kind partnership with Schneider Electric marks an important step toward closing that gap,” says Panu Pasanen, CEO & Founder of One Click LCA.
As buildings currently account for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions — and with 50% of today’s buildings expected to still be in use by 2050 — Schneider Electric emphasizes the importance of retrofitting existing buildings. This approach can reduce their lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 83%.
