One Click LCA Interior Design Carbon Tool

A tool to cut the carbon of interior design and tenant improvements for interior designers and architects.

It’s time to focus on the embodied carbon of interiors

Buildings last for centuries, but tenant improvements are done every few years. Interior refurbishment can generate over 50 kg of embodied carbon per square meter and may add up to much more embodied carbon over the lifetime of the building than the structure and enclosure.

Life-cycle design and carbon optimization can identify the lowest carbon solutions and products and quantify and make the case for supporting environmentally conscious design decisions. However, regular building LCA tools are of no use as they do not contain data for interior materials.

Introducing the One Click LCA Interior Design Carbon Tool

Empower design teams and consultants to quantify and reduce carbon impacts for interior fit-outs, tenant improvement and refurbishment projects.

Calculate the carbon impact of design options

Identify products with a demonstrably lower carbon footprint

Quantify the carbon reduction achieved by reusing materials

Implement a systematic carbon assessment as part of your climate strategy

Provide transparency of interior project impacts for corporate greenhouse gas reporting programs

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get access to the One Click LCA Interior Design Carbon Tool?

The One Click LCA Interior Design Carbon tool is available now as an add-on for any commercial One Click LCA subscription.

It can also be purchased separately.

Contact sales@bionova.fi for a demo or quote.

What is the scope of the assessment?

Upfront carbon, that is, life-cycle modules A1-A5, comprising materials demand, wastage and materials transport.

Which impact categories are reported?

Global Warming Potential, with biogenic carbon storage reported separately.

What can be modelled in the assessment?

New and reused/reclaimed materials and comparing materials with specific transport and wastage parameters.

This tool does not contain potential future replacements for the interiors, as the assumption is that new tenant could have different requirements and thus choose different design and materials.

Is it compatible with other tools?

The One Click LCA Interior Design Carbon tool works seamlessly with all One Click LCA’s whole-building LCA tools, regulatory carbon tools and in particular with the Building Circularity tool, which provides a complementary perspective on circularity.
