FAQs

What data is available in One Click LCA? Does the database include EPDs from New Zealand?

One Click LCA contains more than 130k data points. This includes all EPDs from all publishing bodies, including EPD Australasia, as well as local generic data including all BRANZ, EPiC and AUSLCI datasets.

Can I import design data from Revit and other BIM platforms and other software?

Yes, One Click LCA integrates with multiple software platforms to make it easier to upload your material quantities. Supported integrations include: Revit, Rhino and Grasshopper, Tekla Structures, Trimble Connect, IES-VE, Designer Builder and Excel. You can find a list of our supported integrations cliquez ici.

All of our plans for New Zealand include at least one integration.

How can I know which materials have the highest impacts?

We have a tool that shows the contribution of all the individual structures and materials and highlights those with higher emissions. This enables you to easily locate the components with the highest emissions.

Can I perform an LCA if I don’t have any material quantities?

Yes, the Building LCA tool allows you to perform life cycle assessments at any design stage. When no material quantities are available you can generate your own using the Le Carbon Designer Les seules choses que vous devez connaitre sont le type de bâtiment, la surface de plancher et le nombre d'étages. Pour le reste, vous pouvez soit le personnaliser, soit utiliser des valeurs par défaut. L'outil Carbon Designer générera, à partir d'un modèle simplifié, des quantités de matériaux qui pourront être importées dans votre modèle d'ACV.

Do I need to know from which manufacturer my materials will come?

You don’t necessarily need to know from which vendor you’ll be procuring the materials. If you don’t have manufacturer specific information, you can use our extensive environmental impact dataset which covers all construction product types. We integrate specific manufacturer EPDs but also generic data so that you can always find the right match.

Can I use One Click LCA to create a baseline building for LEED?

Yes. We have detailed four baseline strategies that you can use for LEED certification in our helpdesk.

Do I need EPDs for all the materials to be able to calculate an LCA?

When calculating a Life-Cycle Assessment you should always choose the best quality data available, which means that, if the material manufacturer you are planning to work with has product EPDs available following your calculation standard, you should use them. However, this might not be possible in all cases. If you are in an early design stage you may not yet know which manufacturer you are going to choose. When no exact information is available, you should use the second best option, which may mean similar products from another manufacturer, product category level EPD, or average LCA data for the product in question.

One Click LCA provides both an extensive database of EPDs and average data for the products. We also offer more detailed guidance to our clients to help them choose the most relevant datasets.
