5200+ new datasets added, enhancing regional accuracy and early-stage modeling capabilities.
Platform & Software Updates
Never lose your place during complex modeling
Improved page retention ensures dropdown navigation directs users to the correct input pages. Browser refreshes now preserve your active page, preventing disruption during detailed data entry.
Instantly identify high-impact materials
Percentage contribution is now displayed alongside absolute values in the data input interface, making emission hotspots immediately visible.
Edit resources faster with persistent action controls
Core actions such as duplicate and replace are now accessible via a pinned menu within the resource table, reducing click depth and speeding up iterative modeling.
Handle large BIM models with improved 3D performance
The upgraded IFC Viewer supports files up to 2GB with faster rendering and improved stability, enabling smoother work on complex infrastructure and large projects.
Generate reports in your preferred language
Detailed Reports now follow your profile language settings instead of browser defaults, ensuring consistent and professional output across international teams.
Building & Infrastructure LCA Updates
Align financial and carbon performance with integrated Life Cycle Costing
The newly released LCC tool enables simultaneous cost and carbon assessment within one workflow, supporting more informed investment and design decisions.
A phased roll-out is currently underway, with this new tool eventually replacing our existing LCC tools. Look out for more detailed information and next steps in the coming weeks.
Strengthen portfolio oversight with expanded analytics
Portfolio Analytics now includes Plausibility Checker grades and infrastructure projects, enabling faster data-quality assessment across entire portfolios.
Improve input validation with expanded Plausibility Checker support
The Plausibility Checker now supports imperial tools. Calculations continue to use metric units internally to maintain global benchmarking consistency.
Ensure compliant reporting of exported energy in infrastructure projects
Exported energy can now be included in all infrastructure tools. Results are reported in Module D2 and excluded from project totals to align with standardized reporting scopes.
Product LCA & EPD Updates
Calculation Changes
Increase end-of-life accuracy for reused materials
In the End-to-End tools for Electronics and Luminaires, reused material percentages are now deducted from benefits reported in Module D, ensuring more precise end-of-life impact calculations.
Expanded end-of-life modeling options for wood and paper
Additional end-of-life scenarios are now available for wood and paper materials in End-to-End tools, improving flexibility for bio-based product assessments.
UI / UX Improvements
See only relevant reporting options in Custom Reports
The Custom Report feature now displays only the default report for active tools, reducing clutter and improving report selection clarity.
Improve transparency in transport data selection
The selected Ecoinvent version or EPD program is now visible directly within the transport dropdown menu.
Find datasets during import faster with a new LCI database filter
A new “LCI database” filter has been added to the import search function, enabling more precise dataset discovery.
Expand cPCR coverage with UL and NSF programs
New cPCR options, including UL and NSF PCR programs, broaden compliance pathways for North American markets.
Streamlined End-to-End tools by removing French EPD reporting
The French EPD report and related questionnaire have been removed from E2E tools to simplify configuration and reduce unnecessary complexity.
Benefit from ongoing usability enhancements
Additional smaller interface improvements enhance overall usability across manufacturing tools.
Local Updates
Netherlands (NMD 3.9.1): Simplify Set A1 & A2 calculations
The NMD 3.9.1 tool for Set A1 & A2 calculations is now fully supported in the new data input interface, streamlining Dutch compliance workflows.
Norway (FutureBuilt v3.1): Meet updated climate-neutral development criteria
A new calculation tool supports FutureBuilt v3.1 assessments, aligning projects with the latest Norwegian climate requirements.
Germany (DGNB 2023): Accelerate certification scoring under EN 15804+A2
The LCA for DGNB DE 2023 tool now supports point calculations similar to the +A1 version, simplifying certification workflows.
Global (PAS 2080:2023): Align infrastructure carbon management practices
The Infrastructure Carbon tool aligned with PAS 2080:2023 is now available in the new data input interface, supporting best-practice carbon governance.
Database Expansion
Model with the latest global data using Ecoinvent 3.12
Ecoinvent 3.12 is now available across supported EPD tools, ensuring assessments reflect updated global supply chain datas.
The database now includes 861 industry generic datasets (including SYKE and NABERS) and 1,740 new generic datasets targeting average emissions. These additions improve regional accuracy and strengthen early-stage modeling where verified EPDs are limited.
We have added 1740 generic datasets specifically targeting average emissions for products. This fills a critical gap for early-stage modeling where verified EPDs are rare.
