Benefits

Efficient & trustworthy EPD generation

Speed up your EPD creation while reducing costs using One Click LCA's Pre-verified EPD Generator. Our streamlined process minimises delays and simplifies iterations. We offer complete training, setup assistance, and automated tools for life cycle assessment (LCA) and EPD generation. Final documents are reviewed internally and then sent to third-party verifiers and publishers for validation.

Simplified EPD workflow — fast and cost-effective

Opt for manual entry of building materials and data, or swiftly import designs from Excel, Autodesk Revit, Rhino, Procore, IFC, IES-VE, energy models (gbXML), among others. Input options also include building areas, energy and water usage, site operations, emissions, and removals for a comprehensive life-cycle impact assessment of your building.

Reliable and compliant EPDs

Our solution balances affordability with quality. The One Click LCA tool meets global LCA and EPD standards like ISO 21930, ISO 14044, ISO 14025, ISO 14067, and EN 15804, including its recent updates.

Compliance with EN 15804+A2

We ensure your EPDs comply with the latest requirements of EN 15804+A2, a crucial global standard for EPDs, effective from July 2022.

EPDs aligned with global standards

With One Click LCA Pre-verified EPD Generator, all results categories are calculated automatically from your input data in line with EN 15804+A2, EN 15804+A1, and TRACI 2.1. This means your EPD has global passporting rights for its whole five-year validity. One Click LCA EPD tools also support the ISO 14067 requirement to report fossil and biogenic carbon emissions, land-use change emissions, and carbon storage separately. This requires using the software in line with EN 15804.

Critical third-party verification

ISO 14025 emphasises the importance of third-party verification for EPD reliability. This step is crucial for your EPD's recognition in certifications, regulations, and procurement standards, distinguishing it from unverified EPDs.

Will it help me to comply with EN 15804+A2?

EN 15804 has become the cornerstone standard for EPDs and has been broadly adopted worldwide. EN 15804+A2 is a major amendment which changes EPDs significantly. It was approved in July 2019 and became mandatory in July 2022.

Can I get our process pre-verified later if I need to?

Yes, you can. You can start with the One Click LCA EPD Generator, and when you feel ready, you can undergo the pre-verification process and start using the pre-verified EPD publishing prices. If you have further questions please write to sales@oneclicklca.com.

Why is third-party verification necessary?

Third-party verification is a key factor in why EPDs are valued for their impartial, standardised, and comparable information. It is a core element of the international standard that defines EPDs: ISO 14025. Without third-party verification, your EPD will not be recognised by many certification schemes, regulations, and procurement requirements. Bypassing third-party verification may seem attractive in the short term, but in the long run, it could render your EPD investment effectively useless.

Do I need to publish my EPD?

No, you can choose not to publish by creating a private EPD for tendering use only. Publishing is required for public EPDs and our team will support you through the process. You can benefit from lower EPD publishing rates with our Pre-verified EPD Generator.
