Update Highlights
Find location-relevant materials faster and improve data accuracy with map-based search, bringing geographic context directly into dataset selection.
Work more efficiently in the new interface with restored workflows, including design comparison, construction editing, bill of materials export, and project classification management.
Expand certification capabilities with the new LEED v5 for International tool, supporting broader global project coverage.
Make better material decisions with Benchmark Analytics, enabling side-by-side EPD comparison and deeper dataset insights.
Strengthen data quality and reporting confidence with automated EPD checks and improved report generation.
Platform & software updates
A map view in the “Add resource” search enables materials to be selected based on project proximity, improving dataset relevance and extending the functionality into project workflows and Carbon Designer 3D.
Edit constructions and create variants without ungrouping, preserving structure while reducing manual steps. Construction-level values automatically inherit to constituent elements, minimizing input effort and errors.
Compare designs directly in the data input interface and reuse selected inputs across models, reducing duplication and accelerating iteration.
Assign project-specific classification values directly in the new interface, with visibility across all project users.
During import, classifications are validated against existing Project and Private systems, with discrepancies clearly flagged for correction, improving consistency and reducing rework.
Building & Infrastructure LCA updates
Export bill of materials in Excel format from the “More actions” menu, simplifying data sharing and reducing manual post-processing.
A new LEED v5 International tool enables alignment with updated certification requirements across global projects.
The RICS Infrastructure Whole Life Carbon Assessment (2nd Edition) tool now supports the optional B8 module, enabling more complete lifecycle assessments.
The Net Zero Carbon tool is now available in the new interface, supporting more workflows within a single environment.
Product LCA & EPD updates
The EPD Quality Checker now triggers automatically during internal verification when issues are detected, identifying risks earlier using the same logic as EPD Hub submissions.
Enhanced guidance and help texts support faster resolution. Plausibility checker ranges now support scientific notation, improving clarity for extreme values.
Find BAFU datasets faster with dedicated filtering
A new BAFU filter in the search overlay reduces time spent locating relevant environmental data.
Work with multiple Ecoinvent versions in data import
Ecoinvent 3.12, 3.11, and 3.9.1 are now supported in the new data import, enabling more flexible dataset access.
Ensure consistent report formatting with template-driven styling
Custom reports now inherit font size, style, and color from template markers, reducing manual formatting and ensuring consistency.
Generate cleaner EPD reports aligned with project scope
The selected design scope now determines EPD content, automatically excluding non-relevant information for clearer outputs.
Analytics updates
Compare EPDs side by side and identify the best-performing options faster
Benchmark Analytics enables structured comparison of EPDs within the same standard through list and side-by-side views.
Results span all environmental indicators, with key metrics highlighted for faster evaluation. Graphs support visual comparison, and unit adjustments ensure consistency across datasets.
Additional metadata and EPD usage data provide more context for confident material selection.
