October 5
This release is about how it feels to work in Real-Time LCA every day: a new measure tool in the 3D viewer, dark mode, and a Project Breakdown that finally stays out of your way. There’s also a long list of fixes. Let’s dig in:📏 Measure Directly in the 3D Model
You can now measure heights, overall thicknesses and other dimensions directly inside the 3D viewer. No more switching back to your authoring tool to check a number.
- Inspect layers: the layer build-up of walls and floors is now shown in Inspect.
- Measurement list: every measurement is collected in a list in the viewer, so you don’t have to note values down by hand.
🌙 Dark Mode
Dark mode is coming to Real-Time LCA, with a light/dark switch in the top navigation. We’ve been polishing it across the app so it holds up beyond the main views. Dropdowns, markdown tables and text blocks now follow the theme instead of flashing light-grey panels on a dark page.
🎨 3D Viewer: Colour by More Than Total Emission
The heatmap now has a “Colour by” dropdown.- Life-cycle stage (A1-A3, B4, C…), so you can see where the replacement burden sits
- EPD quality: product-specific, industry, generic or custom
🔌 3D Viewer: Switch Materials Off and Filter Cleanly
- Turn a material off in 3D, just like in Material Mapping. Excluded elements get their own grey look and an Excluded chip, so you won’t confuse them with unmapped ones.
- Filtering by mapping status now hides everything that doesn’t match, including furniture and geometry without an LCA type. Before, those elements were only greyed out, so a fully mapped building still filled the screen.
- Inspect Element is now the default tool when the viewer opens, so clicking an element works straight away.
- Disabled materials no longer show as “unmapped” in the 3D mapping view.
- EPD search in 3D mapping can be filtered by data source, so it’s easier to stay within the data allowed for your project’s country.
📊 Project Breakdown That Behaves
- The header row stays anchored while you scroll, and the table uses the full remaining height.
- Search expands only the matching branch, not the whole hierarchy. Searching for one wall type no longer buries the hit under hundreds of rows.
- The parent trail is highlighted again when you select a row, so you can see where it sits in the hierarchy.
✨ Smaller Touches
- Dragging a material from the library into the inventory now opens the group it lands in.
- Activated standard values now look active, so you can tell they’re on while they stay locked.
- The tenant selector focuses its search field on open, like the project selector.
- Construction creation now labels the field “Thickness (m)” in front of “Lambda (W/mK)”, so it’s clear what you’re entering.
- If an invited user has no Speckle user on a Speckle-connected project, you’re now told, instead of the access gap staying silent.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- 🧱 Fixed a bug where Compare constructions only compared the raw material emissions, not the full construction.
- ⭐ Fixed special conditions errors, including adding a special condition on a type.
- 🚚 The Unmapped filter now stays selected while you map transport.
- 🧩 Fixed a parent type that couldn’t be mapped after reactivating one of its children.
- ✏️ Fixed type name changes reverting after a page reload.
- 🧱 Fixed mapping a construction overwriting existing layer names.
- 📚 The library indicator filter now follows the project’s default indicator.
- 🔒 Fixed a bug where users set to Viewer could still publish 3D models to the project.
- 🤖 Fixed auto-mapping Accept/Reject breaking after you navigated away before resolving it.
- 🕓 The revision switcher now shows for users with access to all projects.
- 📋 Fixed cloning a project dropping classifications.
This release pairs a few long-awaited quality-of-life fixes with a much more useful 3D viewer. See the updated 3D model viewer and Account and user settings pages for the details. Got questions or feedback? Comment on the release post in the community or reach out directly.
September 10
The biggest release since Real-Time LCA launched. Projects are rebuilt around a single left rail, every change is now a version you can restore, milestones can be saved as named revisions, reports have a proper builder, the AI Agent can do the mapping for you — with your approval — and the AI can read an EPD PDF into the Library for you. The whole user guide has been rewritten to match. Let’s dig in:🧭 A New Project Structure
Every project now shares one left rail — Dashboard, 3D model, Materials, Transport, Waste, History, Reports, and Settings — so the same navigation follows you from an empty project through to a delivered report.Creating a project is now a short dialog: country, name, building type, calculation type, and the models the project will hold. Everything else moved into Settings.⚙️ One Settings Page
Project, building area, calculation, models, classification, transport (A4), installation (A5), energy use (B6), members, and integrations now live on a single page with one Save.- A Sections panel doubles as a table of contents and a status list — complete, edited but not saved, or needs attention before the configuration can be saved — with a plain-language count underneath.
- Your limit value shows the budget the project is judged against and where it came from.
- Manage holds the project-level actions: integrations, members, clone, and delete.
🕰️ History — Every Change Is a Version
Changes to base information, materials, and mappings are recorded as versions. Each entry carries its version number, what changed, who changed it, when, and where it came from — in-app, service, or an integration. Filter by change type, search the log, limit it by date, or export it.Restore never overwrites. It builds a new project from the state at that version — materials and project information, transport and waste mappings, custom emission factors, and the history up to that point — and leaves the original exactly as it was.🔖 Revisions — Named Save Points
Any version can be saved as a named revision: Initial Design, Detailed Design, Planning submission. The project is always on exactly one revision, and everything you do is saved to it.- Preview opens a revision read-only for any user. Continue from this moves the project’s working state onto that revision, and every open client follows live.
- Each revision shows who saved it, when, and the emission figure at that point — with the change from the previous revision beside it.
- The revision name in the breadcrumb is a switcher, available on every page of the project.
- Reports are pinned to the revision they were taken from. That is what makes a delivered number reproducible months later, after the live project has moved on.
📋 Clone, Rebuilt
Cloning now copies the project’s current state — materials, mappings, settings, team, and its history so far — into a brand-new project, leaving the original untouched. The dialog names the exact state being copied and asks what should happen to the 3D model: a new Speckle project for the clone, or the same published models feeding both.📄 The Report Builder
Reports in the project rail opens the builder: a page list, a live preview of what will print, and the three controls that apply to the whole document — a mapping incomplete warning, a marker for the pages that take your input, and the report language.- Cover carries the project name, the headline result, and your client logo.
- Overview takes your project description, a building render or photo, and the QA/QC fields, and shows which life-cycle modules the result covers.
- Results states the calculation method and every project parameter behind the number.
- Additional Results carries the ranked impacts and the cumulative curve, each with a note box beside it.
- Background Data lists the active standard values and every EPD used, with its declaration number.
🤖 The AI Agent
The agent opens beside whatever you are working on and picks up the project you are in.- It can map for you. It resolves the materials, reports what is blocking them, finds candidate EPDs, and states what it is about to do — then waits. Anything that changes data pauses for Approval needed, naming the exact operation, with Allow and Deny and the full list of tool calls it has run.
- It answers product questions from the documentation, with a Sources list linking the pages it drew on.
- Skills are reusable instructions you can attach to a message. Curated skills are maintained by us; duplicate one to adapt it, or write your own.
- Usage and History track tokens and sessions across the workspace, by month and by feature, and both export.
📑 Extract From PDF
On the Create Material form, Extract From PDF reads an EPD document and fills the form for you — name, life time, owner, data source, dates, EPD type and specification, declared and mass values with units, and the indicator tables. It takes roughly 15–60 seconds, and anything it could not find stays empty and flagged so the gaps are easy to spot.Across roughly 10,000 values from 35 test files, extraction returned 98% of the values correctly, with 11 individual entries wrong — the rest were missing or flagged for review. It is an accelerator, not a substitute for checking: review the form against the source document before you save.🏷️ AI Classification, Reworked
From Mapping tools on the Materials page, pick the building components to classify — Only unclassified hides anything that already has a code — and review the proposals in a table: existing code, object class, proposed code, whether it is a change, an AI confidence score, and a per-row Apply tick. Object class and proposed code are both editable. Accept writes the ticked rows; Reject discards the lot. What you accept is recorded in History.🧱 Mapping
- An empty project offers four ways to start: upload an IFC model, upload an Excel file, add a material or type by hand, or load a set of sample building elements. The New menu in the inventory header offers the same routes at any time.
- Drag an EPD or construction from the library onto a row, a group, or the strip at the top to drop it into a new group. Mapped rows turn green and show the EPD beneath the element name.
- The flag button limits the library to EPDs allowed for the project’s country.
- Auto Mapping lands as a preview: rows tagged Auto Mapped, the header swapped to Accept or Reject, and nothing written until you accept.
- Missing a lifetime? The app asks for it there and then, with the lifetime table one click away.
🚚 Transport and ♻️ Waste
Transport is one row per mapped material — items, tonnage, emission per tonne, and the total — with the vehicle type and distance you set, defaulting to the country’s data from Settings → Transport (A4). Waste lists your scheme’s categories on the left and the mapped materials on the right, each with the emission it contributes, the wastage assumed on top, and the mass available to sort; Assign sends a material to a category and shows the fraction percentage it represents.📚 The Library
- New in the toolbar creates a material or a construction.
- Rows now carry the EPD type, standard, dataset, declared unit, declaration number, and headline GWP, plus Valid to and an Expires soon warning when an EPD is close to its end date.
- Compare up to six materials side by side, with an attribute overview and a per-module Lifecycle Stages tab where you pick a calculation type or toggle individual stages. The comparison downloads.
- Materials show the collections they belong to as a chip on the row, so a saved material is recognisable while scrolling.
- Constructions get Edit, Clone, and Delete from the row menu, filters for units, owners, and organisations, and a dimensions dialog with a 3D preview, a lambda value for insulation, and the conversion it is making spelled out.
🎓 Tutorials, In the App
Twenty-three short walkthroughs, at the bottom of the left sidebar and available from any page — six categories, from Platform Overview through to Reports and Documentation. Cards show the category and duration, a tick marks what you have already watched, and chips filter by category. Open the player’s ⋮ menu for playback speed or Picture in Picture — the video pops out into a small floating window that stays above the app, with its own play, skip, and progress controls, so you can follow along while you work.🔌 Speckle and Imports
- You now create your own Speckle account from Account menu → Speckle, choosing the password you will use in the connector, and the dialog holds Reset password, Sync projects, and the connector download.
- A project’s connection is configured from Settings → Integrations: a new connection for its own stream, or a shared connection so two projects read the same published model. Once connected, the row reports the models in sync, when they were last published, and offers Sync now.
- Excel and IFC uploads moved to the inventory’s New menu. Imported rows are tagged with their source, the Datasource filter separates Excel from Speckle, and an imported item’s Quantity tab shows the current value alongside the original from the sheet — so an edit never hides what was uploaded.
- IFC imports run in the background: keep working, and the project updates itself when processing finishes.
📊 Dashboard and Projects
- A filter bar above the dashboard applies to every number and chart on the page — models, life-cycle stages, indicator, and units.
- Any chart opens full screen with Absolute, Relative, and Stage breakdown views.
- The project breakdown table has a column manager, including material properties and a per-stage emission split.
- The projects page adds a denser sortable list view, and each card shows the revision it is on, its % USED bar against the limit value, and % mapped so the emission figure is read in context.
💬 Help That Answers First
Feedback in the top-right corner now offers the AI Agent, the user docs, and the community before the form — and Issue and Idea still go straight to the team, with the page you were on attached automatically.📖 The User Guide, Rewritten
Every page of the user guide has been rewritten against this release, with annotated screenshots that render in both light and dark mode, and new pages for the 3D model viewer, History, Revisions, Reports, Clone a project, Extract From PDF, and Tutorials.This is the release we have been building toward since the platform launched — a project that remembers everything it has been, milestones you can name and return to, reports you can reproduce, and an assistant that does the work and asks before it writes.

Big stretch of work to share — from more granular control over Danish standard values, to BR18 2023 support and faster ways to find the constructions you need. Plus a milestone moment: Real-Time LCA is now live on the OpenAI / ChatGPT App Store. Let’s dig in:🤖 Real-Time LCA is Live on the ChatGPT App Store
You can now reach Real-Time LCA straight from ChatGPT. We’ve published the app to the OpenAI App Store, so you can query projects, search EPDs, map materials, and pull dashboard results without leaving your AI assistant. It’s the same toolset that powers our MCP integration, now one step closer to wherever you already work.🇩🇰 Turn Standard Values On and Off Individually
For Danish projects, you now have fine-grained control over standard values. Instead of an all-or-nothing toggle, you can activate or deactivate each value per stage, and the calculation respects exactly what you’ve turned on or off. This gives you a much more precise picture when documenting which assumptions are in play.🏗️ Special Conditions for BR18 2023
We’ve added support for distinguishing BR18 2023’s special conditions, so projects on the 2023 ruleset are handled correctly alongside the 2025 standard values. One more piece of keeping the platform aligned with the regulations you actually work under.🔍 Filter Constructions by LCAbyg (2023) and LCAbyg (2025)
Finding the right constructions just got faster. We’ve extended the filtering in the Constructions view so you can filter directly on LCAbyg (2023) and LCAbyg (2025) instead of scrolling to find what you need.✨ Smaller Touches That Add Up
A few quality-of-life improvements landed in this period too:- Full names on hover — Type and Material names that get truncated in the inventory now show in full when you hover over them.
- Three decimal places — The Material modal now accepts and preserves values to three decimal places, so you can enter more precise quantities.
These updates push toward a more precise, more flexible, and increasingly AI-assisted Real-Time LCA. As always, your feedback drives where we go next — keep it coming via community.realtimelca.com.Read the full post →
May 22
This release focuses on flow — multi-select actions across Project Overview and Library, persistent filters that remember you between visits, an inventory that holds its place, and a handful of long-awaited fixes for special conditions and the AI Assistant. Let’s dig in:☑️ Multi-Select Actions on Projects and Library
We’ve added a proper Selection mode to both Project Overview and the Library.- Select multiple projects or library items at once
- Apply actions in bulk instead of one-by-one
- Works across both views with a consistent UX
💾 Filters That Remember You
Project Overview now remembers your filters between visits. No more manually hiding “On hold” and “Archived” projects every time you open the platform — your selections persist across sessions.A small change, but one that adds up fast when you log in several times a day.🧱 Collections in the Constructions Library
The Constructions view in the Library now supports collections, just like the Materials view does. Organize your assemblies into the same logical groupings you already use elsewhere — no more switching mental models between tabs.🧭 Project Navigation, Refreshed
The in-project navigation has had a visual and structural refresh — cleaner hierarchy, clearer active states, and faster orientation when jumping between dashboard, inventory, and report views.📋 Building Component Inventory Keeps Its Place
The Building Component Inventory now preserves your expanded state and scroll position during normal use. Click into a material, hit back, and you’ll land exactly where you left off — no more re-expanding the same tree for the fifth time today.🗺️ Map Shows Your Location First
When creating a new project, the Location step now uses your browser location to show a map centered on where you are — instead of a blank page until you start typing an address.🔄 SI Agent Mapping Updates Live
When the SI Agent maps or remaps a material, the inventory now updates automatically — no manual page reload required. Mapping feedback is instant.🇸🇪 Resurs-ID on Boverket Data
Swedish Boverket materials now carry their Resurs-ID as the declaration number — making it easier to trace EPDs back to the official Boverket database entries.🇮🇸 Iceland: Corrected Installation Input Units
Adjusted the installation input denominator unit for Icelandic calculations to match the correct reference. Small change, correct results.✏️ Smaller Touches
- Decimal values are now allowed for number of persons during project creation (no more “you must enter a whole human”).
- General user feedback messages and toasts have been polished across the app.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- 🧮 Fixed a bug where adding a special condition caused total emissions to increase instead of decrease. Yes — wrong direction. Now correctly subtracts.
- 🧱 Fixed a bug where the special condition (S) button disappeared when a construction was dropped onto a parent/collection row in the inventory. Drop where you like — the button stays.
- 📐 Fixed an issue in Speckle quantity extraction (mængdeudtræk) that produced incorrect quantities on certain models.
- 🤖 Fixed the AI Assistant crashing with “Stream error occured” for some users.
- 💾 Fixed a bug where users were unable to save constructions in certain projects.
- 🪟 Fixed white-background text blocks appearing inside info modals, breaking the visual consistency of the modal.
This release leans heavily on community feedback — persistent filters, the inventory state fix, and Boverket Resurs-IDs all came directly from you. Keep it coming via community.realtimelca.com — we’re listening.Read the full post →
