Latest updates relevant to you
IFC File Viewer, streamlined BIM data import
Save time and resources by directly importing IFC files into One Click LCA, automatically extracting your Bill of Materials, and visualizing your 3D models. This eliminates the need for separate BIM software purchases and allows you to efficiently analyze and understand your designs’ carbon impact within our platform. The IFC File viewer is a new inclusion in our Expert packages.
Materials Compass, filter EPDs based on distance
Pinpoint the exact materials you need with our more detailed classifications. Efficiently locate materials near your construction site using our distance filters and map view. Plus, we’ve improved the quote request form, enabling seamless communication and direct connections with product manufacturers.
AI Plausibility Checker, enhance building projects with AI feedback
Confidently deliver top-tier building LCAs with our new AI Plausibility Checker. It provides more accurate and comprehensive checks by leveraging data from real-world projects, giving you customized and insightful feedback to refine your designs and ensure exceptional results.
(Please note: Imperial units are not currently supported, and tools with specific calculation rules like RE2020 and DGNB have limited functionality.) The AI Plausibility Checker is included with the Power User Pack.
Data Input Interface, new guided tour, and filter by favorites
Quickly find your organization’s frequently used resources with the new “Favorites” tab filtering. Plus, access our guided tour anytime via the new side panel button, ensuring smooth onboarding and continuous support.
(Please note: Adding resources to “Favorites” in the new interface is coming in a future update.)
Data Import, custom and AI mappings and improved search
We’ve significantly improved your data import experience, allowing you to quickly bring in your Bill of Materials (BOM) Excel files and private classifications directly. Save time and reduce errors by reusing AI or custom mappings, which automatically apply to the import. You also have the flexibility to disable AI mapping on a per-import basis. Effortlessly find the data you need with our enhanced search, featuring filters like the EPD Program. This streamlined process ensures accuracy and efficiency in your LCA workflows.
Product LCA & EPD updates
EPD Quality Checker
We’ve added new validation steps to the EPD Quality Checker, including mass balancing, declared mass comparison, and missing file verification, so you can proactively address potential issues and achieve higher EPD accuracy.
The EPD Quality Checker is included in our Power User Pack, and with End-to-End EPD Generators
EPD Hub PCR 1.2 Alignment
To ensure your EPDs remain compliant with the updated EPD Hub Product Category Rules (effective March 24, 2025), we’ve revised our EPD Generators. You can now add comprehensive scenario details in the EPD Description query, giving you a head start before it becomes mandatory.
End-to-End Verified Tools Data Alignment
We’ve made it easier to achieve accurate and dependable results by ensuring our Ready-Mix Concrete, Luminaire, and Electronics tools now exclusively use officially approved EPDs and data points. This means you can confidently work with verified information, as all modeling inputs are rigorously checked by EPD Hub, saving you time and ensuring the quality of your outputs.
New & Updated EPD Templates
Save time and effort with our new Mining Hammer template, and benefit from updated templates for Hot Water Tanks, Kitchen Cabinets, Lithium-ion Batteries, Cement-lime Mortars, Green Facade Systems, XPS Insulation, EPS Insulation, Concrete Blocks, Hollow-Core Slabs, and PIR with facers. These resources simplify your EPD assessments, providing a faster and more efficient starting point.
