Problem
The construction industry faces challenges in accurately assessing and managing the embodied carbon of projects, often requiring specialized expertise and time-consuming manual data collection. This complexity hinders efficient decision-making for carbon reduction strategies throughout the project lifecycle.
Solution
Reduzer provides a cloud-based platform designed to simplify and streamline the process of calculating and reporting embodied carbon for construction projects. The system integrates directly with Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, enabling automated data extraction for accurate lifecycle assessment (LCA). Users can leverage an extensive, verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) library to select materials and components, facilitating informed, data-driven decisions for carbon mitigation. The platform supports collaboration among project stakeholders, allowing for real-time updates and shared insights to optimize sustainability performance.
Target Audience
The platform serves construction industry professionals including contractors, architects, developers, and consultants who require tools for accurate carbon footprint analysis and reporting.
Features
- BIM integration for automated quantity takeoff and carbon footprint calculation from design models.
- Verified EPD library with over 15,000 data points, including generic values and national databases, for material selection.
- Early-stage carbon calculator enabling rapid assessment and comparison of design alternatives.
- LCA reporting module with pre-defined templates for compliance with various environmental schemes (e.g., BREEAM, EU-Taxonomy, TEK17).
- Collaborative workspace allowing multiple users to work on projects simultaneously with role-based access controls.
- Speckle plugin integration for seamless updates from BIM models.
- Functionality to create custom sub-schemes and benchmarks for tailored project requirements.
- Data export capabilities for detailed analysis and stakeholder communication.
