A project in Real-Time LCA represents a single building or design that you want to assess. It keeps the building’s facts, its 3D models, its material mappings, and its results together, and records every change along the way.

In this section

Project Overview

Find, filter, and open the projects in your organization.

Create a new project

Country, name, building type, and the calculation the project is judged against.

Project Dashboard

Emissions against your limit value, mapping progress, and the charts behind them.

3D model viewer

Inspect an element, colour the model by impact, and find what is not mapped.

Material Mapping

Link inventory items to EPDs and constructions — by hand, automatically, or with AI.

Transport Mapping

Set haul distances so A4 emissions are calculated per material.

Waste Sorting

Assign materials to waste categories for end-of-life calculations.

Clone a project

Copy the current state into a new project to explore a variant safely.

History

Every change as a version you can restore.

Revisions

Name the states worth keeping, and switch the project between them.

Reports

Generate a formatted LCA report, with your own description and notes.

Project Settings

Areas, life-cycle stages, classification, site energy, members, and integrations.

A typical run through

1

Create the project

Country, name, building type, calculation type. See Create a new project.
2

Complete the settings

Areas and, depending on the calculation type, classification, transport, installation, and energy use. See Project Settings.
3

Get the model in

Publish from your authoring tool through Speckle, or upload IFC or Excel.
4

Map materials, transport, and waste

Material Mapping first — transport and waste are calculated from what is mapped.
5

Read the results and save a revision

Check the dashboard, name the state you want to keep as a revision, and issue an LCA report from it.
