Materials search automatically calculates the distance from each EPD manufacturing location to the project address. Results can be sorted or filtered by proximity, supporting selection of local materials that reduce transport-related emissions and align with regional sustainability requirements.

Available in all tools using the new data input interface and in Materials Compass. Requires a set project address to calculate the distance.

The global warming potential (GWP) column in material search now reflects the standard applied in the selected tool, reported per standard unit for each material subtype. Values are displayed in metric or imperial units according to workspace settings. Outside of installation and systems resources (temporarily excluded due to unit mismatches), most (92%) of resources display GWP per standard unit, enabling consistent and comparable carbon impact assessments.

This update will be live during the month of august.

The resource name column is pinned by default and remains editable to support efficient horizontal scrolling. Construction constituents are visually indented beneath parent constructions, and table group names are bolded for faster scanning of complex datasets.

Action icons (Such as Delete, Move) match the classic interface for easier navigation. Constructions can be created directly from the query level. Filters are available to hide expired or blocked resources, reducing irrelevant results.

Resources can be moved between questions in a few clicks, enabling faster revisions and accurate project data without rework.

Newly added columns appear in saved layout positions, ensuring key metrics such as CO₂ remain in the correct location for quick reviews and reduced risk of error.

Start the data import process from the query view without changing screens, minimizing navigation steps and maintaining workflow continuity.

Any imported column, including informative fields, can now be selected as a criterion for combining rows. This prevents unintentional merging of distinct values, improving accuracy in complex imports.

Main users in organizations with an Expert license will be able to define default mappings during import, overriding user, colleague, or AI mappings to ensure consistency across teams.

Once saved, defaults apply to all users in the company and can only be updated by a main user. Mapping is reused based on name, class, and relevant filters (tool, unit), supporting standardization for large teams.

This update will be live during the month of august.

AI mapping logic now applies scoring-based filters to eliminate random or clearly irrelevant matches. Ambiguous material names (e.g., “N/A,” “Unknown”) are excluded from mapping suggestions and routed to the Unidentified Data tab for targeted manual review. These changes reduce mapping errors and increase control over inputs.

The Denmark region now applies the latest BR18 generic datasets, enabling early-phase designs to reflect current national assumptions and improving baseline accuracy in line with BR25 requirements.

The Finland region is expected to adopt the latest SYKE generic datasets, increasing accuracy for concept-stage modeling and supporting alignment with national guidance. This change is tentative and subject to confirmation for this release.

The “Save” button now applies to all edited designs simultaneously and is positioned above the design details section, streamlining change tracking and reducing the risk of unsaved edits during iteration.

A new End-to-End verified EPD tool is available for HVAC product manufacturers, providing a dedicated workflow for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Key capabilities include:

The tool improves modeling precision and shortens compliance timelines for HVAC product lines. Access requests should be directed to [email protected].

The new data import interface is now the default for all users with unlimited Ecoinvent access (excluding Japan), offering improved performance and a streamlined layout. The 500-row limit applies unless the new UI is enabled. AI mapping is disabled by default.

A beta rollout is in progress for users with limited Ecoinvent access. The new interface delivers a simplified workflow while preserving dataset restrictions in line with the license. The option to revert to the previous version remains available. AI mapping is disabled by default.

From August 13, the new import interface becomes the default for all EPD E2E tools, delivering the same performance improvements and simplified UI as other implementations. The option to revert is available. AI mapping is disabled by default, and fallback “Name search” mapping provides improved relevance over standard EPD tools.

NMD process datasets are now available in:

Access is determined by the Ecoinvent license type:

The integration supports Dutch regulatory compliance in EPD generation. For Ecoinvent access options, contact [email protected].

The Carbon Minds LCI database will be available shortly after the August release. Access depends on the purchased license and may be provided through Organisation Data Lists or full tool integration.

The database enhances modeling precision for chemical-intensive products by incorporating regional supply chain impacts. For access options, contact [email protected].

The AusLCI database is now available in EPD Tool V3, providing 627 characterized datasets across more than 20 categories, including energy, transport, metals, chemicals, construction materials, and agriculture. This license-free resource supports multiple impact assessment methods, including EN 15804 A1/A2, TRACI, INIES, and ISO 21930. Available to all EPD Tool V3 users.

The One Click LCA plugin now supports Autodesk Civil 3D 2026. The updated installer, available through the Autodesk App Store, enables efficient data export from Civil 3D into One Click LCA for infrastructure and site-level assessments.

Setup guidance is available in the updated Autodesk® Civil 3D support article.

The Klimatdeklaration av byggnader tool operates fully in the new interface, delivering faster performance, simplified navigation, and enhanced workflows while maintaining compliance with Swedish national reporting requirements.

The database has been expanded with 5503 new industry datasets. This increases data coverage across materials and production processes, offering more detailed and representative options for construction and manufacturing LCAs.

Calculated averages are derived from the statistical analysis of EPDs for comparable products manufactured within selected countries. These datasets are designed to represent the environmental profile of a typical product. Outlier values were carefully excluded to enhance accuracy and reliability. The resulting robust datasets serve as trustworthy proxies for filling data gaps when specific EPDs are unavailable. Calculated averages have been created for the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Germany, and for Europe as a whole.
