Is Carbon designer compliant for generating reference building?
If you are documenting LCA for BREEAM 2016 – The Carbon designer 2d generated reference building is still valid. But if you are looking to comply with BREEAM v0.6, you have to follow benchmarks mentioned in the BREEAM v6.0 manual and use carbon designer 2D/3D  for early phase assessment and scenario comparison.
Is training offered for BREEAM NOR analysis?
We offer training, support, software customization, and selective consulting services in the area of life cycle assessment and life cycle costing. You can read more about the training here.
What type of data can be used for BREEAM analysis?
One Click LCA contains 130 000+ data points and integrates data from nearly all of the available EPD platforms around the globe.
