What IC+ is
IC+ is Circular Ecology's paid successor to the ICE (Inventory of Carbon and Energy) database. Circular Ecology is withdrawing ICE from commercial use, and One Click LCA deactivates ICE datasets on September 30, 2026.
If you want to keep using Circular Ecology data after that date, IC+ is the option. If you want a free replacement, use Generic Construction Data (GCD), UK edition, which One Click LCA provides at no cost to end users under its terms of use.
Availability in One Click LCA
One Click LCA is exploring offering IC+ as a separately licensed add-on in the software. Timing is to be confirmed.
Circular Ecology sets IC+ pricing and has not yet confirmed it. The expected price is around £800 per user per year; check the IC+ website for the latest.
