Early design stages have the biggest influence on embodied carbon reductions
Carbon saving potential reduces dramatically throughout the life of a project. But during those critical early phases, it can be hard to assess the impact of design decisions due to a lack of detailed information.
The One Click LCA and Rhino integration enables designers and architects to measure and compare the embodied carbon impact of different options, right from concept design stage. Making it possible to identify the best material options to slash the embodied carbon of your designs.
Early-phase LCA made easy
with One Click LCA and Rhino
Rhinoceros
- Quickly transform ideas into 3D models.
- Bridge the gap between conceptual ideas and technical modelling knowledge.
- Architects and designers are free to focus on developing their designs rather than how to model or present them.
One Click LCA
- Export material quantities from Rhino to One Click LCA.
- Early-phase design optioneering – for greatest impact.
- Optimise designs based on global warming potential and environmental benchmarking.
Free trial period: 1st Oct – 31st Dec 2021

Usein kysytyt kysymykset
Who can access the free One Click LCA tool?
For new One Click LCA users: Using the integrations with Trimble, IES or Rhino will require the respective licenses. Access to the free One Click LCA tool is available until the end of 2021.
For existing One Click LCA users: If you have a Business plan or higher, you have access to these integrations, even beyond the end of this offer period. If you have a Starter plan, please write to support@oneclicklca.com to request access.
What features are included?
The Rhino integration also provides access to the Global Carbon add-on tool.
How long will I have access to the free tool?
Are you offering other free tools and resources during COP26?
What is COP26 anyway?
COP stands for Conference of Parties, with the parties referring to the 197 nations and territories that have signed on to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
This year’s event will be the 26th conference, hence COP26.
COP26 takes place in Glasgow, UK, in November 2021. Find out more at the official COP26 website.
