The dashboard is the project’s front page. It answers three questions at a glance: how much carbon the project is carrying, how much of the model is actually mapped, and where the biggest impacts sit.
Before anything is mapped
A fresh project has nothing to show yet. Start mapping takes you straight to Material Mapping.
The project rail
Every page of a project shares the same left rail:
The filter bar
The bar above the content applies to every number and chart on the page.
The three buttons at the end reset the filters to their defaults, download, and refresh the data.
The breadcrumb above it carries the revision switcher, so you can look at the whole dashboard as it stood at an earlier save point. See Revisions.
Summary strip
The project’s facts in one line — building type, status, total area, and consideration period — with three actions on the right. 3D model opens the viewer, Project details expands the full record, and Export charts downloads what you are looking at. The pencil beside the status edits it in place.
Emission overview
The headline number: the project’s total against its limit value, and what is left. The stages in brackets after Total tell you exactly which modules are counted — anything the calculation type excludes is not in this figure.
The bar is a budget, not a score. Remaining 7.77 of a Limit value 8.00 looks comfortable, but only because 22% of the materials are mapped — see the next card before drawing conclusions.
Mapping overview
Two progress bars: how much of the inventory has real data behind it, and how much of that has transport set. Each shows what it currently contributes and what share is still missing. Until Materials reaches 100%, every other number on this page is partial.
Emission by Environmental Data Type
How much of the result rests on product-specific EPDs versus generic datasets. A high generic share is fine early on, but most schemes expect product data for the materials that dominate the result — this card tells you how far you are from that.
Emission by Embodied and Operational
Materials versus energy in use. Embodied is everything bound up in producing, transporting, replacing, and disposing of the building’s materials; Operational is the energy the building consumes once it is running. A project showing 100% embodied simply has no B6 figures entered yet — see Settings → Energy use (B6).
Emission by Model
How the total divides across the models feeding the project. Useful for handing a number back to the discipline that owns it — and for spotting a model that has not been published in a while.
Cumulative Emissions
The total spread across the consideration period, separated into embodied, operational, and Module D. The step changes are replacements: when a material’s lifetime runs out inside the period, its impact lands again. A curve that rises steeply late usually means short-lived materials in large quantities.
Highest Emission Impact by Type
The building types carrying the most carbon, ranked. This is the list to work down when you are looking for something to change — the top two or three usually account for most of the total.
Highest Emission Impact by Material
The same ranking by material rather than by building type. Types tell you where to intervene in the building; materials tell you what to substitute.
Emission by Material Lifecycle Stage
Which modules carry the load. Production (A1–A3) dominating is normal for a new build; a large B4 points at replacements, and a large C means end-of-life is doing real work in your scheme.
Opening a chart full screen
The expand icon on a chart opens it full screen, where you also get Absolute, Relative, and Stage breakdown views, plus the top contributor and its share called out.
Project breakdown
Below the charts, every type in the project is listed against its classification code, so you can drill from a group down to a single element. Quantity, unit, weight, lifetime, and number of replacements sit alongside the emission, which makes it the fastest place to spot a wrong quantity or a missing lifetime.
Columns controls what the table shows — including material properties and a per-stage emission split.
- The header row stays in place while you scroll, and the table fills the remaining height of the page.
- Search expands only the branch that contains a match, so a single type is not buried under the rest of the hierarchy.
- Selecting a row highlights its parent trail, so you can see where it sits in the classification.
