BuiltWorlds includes One Click LCA in its 2026 Building Tech Top 50

Written by Álvaro Martos | Sep 03 2026

Helsinki, Finland (September 3, 2026) — BuiltWorlds has named One Click LCA to its 2026 Building Tech Top 50, in the LCA/Environmental Impact Analysis category. The list draws on BuiltWorlds' annual Building Tech Benchmarking Survey, direct industry research, and member feedback, spanning eight categories across the full building life cycle, from early concept through operations. BuiltWorlds is a Chicago-based research and events network focused on technology across the built environment.

The LCA/Environmental Impact Analysis category evaluates software used to calculate, benchmark, and reduce the embodied carbon of construction materials and buildings, an area of growing focus as the EU's Construction Products Regulation and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation raise disclosure requirements for construction products across the built environment.

AI-powered automation built on the world's largest LCA database

One Click LCA's platform combines more than 500,000 verified LCA and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) datasets, drawing on multiple life cycle inventory databases including ecoinvent and Carbon Minds, with AI-powered automation that maps materials to environmental data and flags modelling errors against project benchmarks. Carbon Designer 3D lets architects and engineers compare material and design options for carbon impact from the earliest stages of a project. The platform integrates with more than 20 BIM and other design and business tools, including Autodesk Revit, Tekla Structures, Rhino, and SAP S/4HANA, and supports compliance with more than 140 standards and certifications, including LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, EN 15978, and the EU Taxonomy.

The recognition follows One Click LCA's inclusion in Verdantix's Smart Innovators: LCA Software (2025) report.
