About the integration
One Click LCA and Presto are now integrated, providing users with an easy way to transfer data from Presto to One Click LCA for Life Cycle Assessment and carbon footprint analysis.
RIB Presto is a comprehensive construction management software developed by RIB Software, designed to streamline cost estimation, project planning, and execution, particularly in building and civil engineering projects.
How does the Integration work?
The integration enables users to export a structured Excel file from Presto using a dedicated add-in built with the Presto API. This file can then be uploaded directly into One Click LCA’s platform for environmental impact analysis.
The process requires the user to map materials in Presto to a supported classification system used by One Click LCA. This mapping ensures accurate interpretation of the data for carbon assessment and other calculations.
How do you set up the Presto integration?
Make sure you have the things listed below before starting:
Presto 25 or later version
A dedicated Presto add-in to export data from Presto. Please contact Presto for access.
One Click LCA account and license with Business features or higher to be able to import data from Excel.
How can I access the integration?
To access the integration, you need to open the "Accessories" (Complementos) tab inside Presto and navigate to the "Export to One Click LCA" (Exporta a One Click LCA) option.
How to use the Presto Integration?
Using the integration step-by-step guidance
1. Open your project in Presto.
2. Enter material details using a category that’s supported by your classification system.
Note: You can use Presto’s AI-based options that work with context, or embed pre-generated classifications for your classification system.
3. Use the Presto add-in to export the data as an Excel sheet.
4. The bill of materials will be exported and saved as an Excel file.
5. Go to the One Click LCA platform and import the data from the Excel file
Go to the project page
Click "Input Data" on a design
Click on "Import from Excel"
Follow this guidance to import data and assign environmental profiles for LCA analysis.
6. You can now proceed with the environmental impact analysis using One Click LCA tools.
Know limitations:
Unrecognized Units
Some units exported from Presto via the add-in might not be recognized by the One Click LCA import process. This includes "T", "MUD", and "%". Users will need to manually map these units on the platform.
Suggestions:
Report "T" as "TON" or convert it to "KG" before exporting from Presto.
"MUD" and "%" are not supported. Consider using one of our supported units.
