About the session
In this session, Marios Tsikos sits down with Sakari Lahti, a Trimble product specialist, to discuss the challenges and innovations surrounding the creation of environmental product declarations (EPD) and the streamlining of life-cycle assessment (LCA) workflows from a practical, solution-oriented perspective. Participants will learn how advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools, specifically Tekla Structures and Tekla Structural Designer, can be leveraged to accurately quantify materials and facilitate the creation of general and project-specific EPDs. The session will also highlight how Trimble Connect enhances LCA processes by allowing consultants to manage and integrate BIM data from various sources efficiently. Through presentations, live demos, and interactive discussions, attendees will gain practical insights that they can action immediately.
Who should attend this session?
This session is for architects, engineers, contractors, consultants, specifiers, buyers, and other construction-industry professionals to learn about targeting zero and other sustainability trends in the industry.
What are the key takeaways from this session?
- LCAs and EPDs are fundamental for attaining net zero
- More efficient workflows enable early design iterations
- Data accuracy and reliability is the key challenge to overcome
