One Click LCA
AI-powered sustainability platform for embodied carbon assessment
Cloud-based Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) platform that automates embodied carbon calculations for buildings, infrastructure, and manufacturing products.
€40M+ (Series B from PSG Equity and InfraVia Capital Partners, November 2023) raised 🏢 Established
Founded 2001 • 170+ countries, blue-chip customers including Skanska, AECOM, WSP, Foster+Partners, LafargeHolcim, Saint-Gobain, ArcelorMittal, Geberit, and Arcadis
Why This Tool Exists
⚠️
The Problem
Construction and engineering teams manually calculate embodied carbon for materials and buildings, requiring hours of data research across fragmented databases. Compliance with 140+ certification standards (LEED, BREEAM, EU regulations) involves tedious manual mapping and recalculation. This delays sustainability assessments until detailed design phases when material choices are already locked in.
✅
The Solution
Automates LCA calculations with AI-powered BIM integration, accessing 500,000+ verified environmental datasets across 170+ countries. Platform maps building materials automatically from Revit/BIM models to environmental product declarations (EPDs), generates compliance-ready reports for 140+ standards, and enables early-design sustainability analysis before specifications are finalized.
