Schneider Electric, One Click LCA partner to improve accuracy of environmental assessments in electrification
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and One Click LCA, the leading sustainability software platform for construction and manufacturing, have announced a partnership to improve the accuracy of environmental assessments in electrification.
As buildings are currently responsible for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions, and 50% of today’s buildings will still be in use by 2050, Schneider Electric proposes that the industry should focus on retrofitting existing buildings, which can reduce their lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 83%.
The partnership addresses a persistent challenge in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry: the gaps in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) environmental data. This initiative allows One Click LCA users to access detailed environmental data for Schneider Electric products, enabling more accurate calculations of building environmental impacts. It marks the first time that comprehensive manufacturer MEP environmental data is made accessible at this scale.
“The building industry needs reliable environmental data to make informed decisions,” said Sorouch Kheradmand, Global Head of Sustainability – Partners, at Schneider Electric. “By making our MEP product data publicly available through One Click LCA’s platform, we aim to set a new standard for transparency in our industry.”
“Access to manufacturer MEP product data has been a significant gap in building life-cycle assessments,” said Panu Pasanen, CEO & Founder, of One Click LCA. “This first-of-its-kind partnership with Schneider Electric marks an important step toward closing that gap. By integrating detailed electrical products data into our platform, we’re enabling AEC companies to perform more precise environmental impact calculations.”
The Schneider Electric & One Click LCA collaboration included Integration of Schneider Electric’s environmental product data into the One Click LCA platform, mutual learning to facilitate environment impact assessment in early stages of projects, and enhanced product selection capabilities for sustainable building design.
