Start a project with the handful of facts that cannot change later.
Creating a project asks for very little: the country, what to call it, what kind of building it is, and which calculation applies. Everything else — areas, energy, a 3D model, who can see it — you fill in afterwards on the project’s settings page.Click New Project on the Projects page to open the wizard.
Start a new project
The country is fixed for the life of the project. It decides which datasets, calculation types, and transport defaults are available, and it cannot be changed afterwards — check it before you create.
Building type and calculation type stay locked until you pick a country, so work top to bottom.

Field
What to enter
Country
Where the building is. Fixed once created.
Project name
Up to 55 characters. Can be renamed later.
Project status
The design stage you are in — for example Detailed Design.
Building type
Decides which limit value applies to the project.
Year of construction / Year of commissioning
Used for the timeline behind the cumulative emissions chart.
Calculation type
The scheme the results are calculated against — for example Irish Green Building Council (WLC). It sets which life-cycle stages are included, and those decide which settings sections you still need to fill in.
Models
Names the model slots this project will hold, one per trade or discipline. Naming one here does not require a connection yet.
The ⓘ next to a field explains what it affects. Models are just names at this point — you connect a 3D model to them later from Settings → Models or the Speckle integration.
Click Create project to finish. The project opens on its dashboard, waiting for a model.
Areas, life-cycle stages, classification, transport, installation, and energy use all live in Settings. The Sections panel there tracks what still needs attention.
2
Get the model in
Publish geometry from your authoring tool through Speckle, or upload an IFC or Excel file. You can also start mapping by hand without a model at all.
3
Map the materials
Link what came from the model to EPDs in Material Mapping. Results appear on the dashboard as you go.
