About Bionova Ltd
We provide solutions and software to help organisations achieve their sustainability goals.
About Bionova
Bionova Ltd is the global leader for construction works life-cycle assessment and carbon measurement and optimization software. Our core business is construction sustainability tools for embodied or life-cycle carbon, Life Cycle Costing, Life Cycle Assessment and circular economy.
We are the developers of One Click LCA, the building Life Cycle metrics software that allows you to calculate Life Cycle Assessment, Life Cycle Costing, Carbon footprint and other environmental impacts in a matter of minutes thanks to easy to use automation with commonly used design software. One Click LCA can deliver compliant LCA & LCC for BREEAM, LEED, NS 3720, E + C-, DGNB, and 30+ other certifications, and holds the highest possible 100% Mat 01 rating for BREEAM.
We also perform selective and specialized, high-impact assignments to develop the regulatory and voluntary environment towards circular economy and embodied carbon reduction in construction.

Carbon Heroes Benchmark Program
In cooperation with Chile Green Building Council, Dutch Green Building Council, Irish Green Building Council, Hungary Green Building Council, Romania Green Building Council, Green Building Council Italia, Statsbygg, and other world leaders in sustainable construction, we have created a building carbon benchmark program with the target of establishing carbon benchmarks for 1000 buildings.
This program builds on detailed, Level(s)-compliant building LCAs conducted by users and allows obtaining very fine breakdowns of materials use as well as carbon intensity, including documented building types and scopes of analysis.
