Conduct a lifecycle assessment in 6 steps
No LCA expertise required. Guided workflow handles the modeling, calculations, and verification preparation for you.
Step 1 of 6
Pick the tool that matches your project
What you do
Choose the standard, certification, or regulation you need to report against, such as EN 15978, Level(s), LEED, BREEAM, or DGNB.
What the software does
Sets up the assessment for you, so the scope, life cycle stages, and indicators already match what your chosen standard asks for.Step 2 of 6
Bring in your data the way that suits you
What you do
Connect from your design software with one of 20+ integrations, upload an IFC model, import an Excel file, enter quantities manually, or sketch a concept in Carbon Designer 3D.
What the software does
Takes your data in whatever format you have it, extracts the bill of materials, and matches it to the right LCA data. No re-modelling needed.Step 3 of 6
See where you can cut carbon
What you do
Test design and material options early in Carbon Designer 3D, or compare alternatives later using the results and graphs in your assessment.
What the software does
Shows your carbon hotspots and how much each option saves, so you can make better decisions while they are still easy to make.Step 4 of 6
Get your results in one view
What you do
Open your results as soon as your data is in.
What the software does
Calculates all required impacts and shows them in clear charts and tables: by life cycle stage, by building element, and by material, with your benchmark or limit value alongside where one applies.Step 5 of 6
Understand what drives your result
What you do
Look at which materials and elements contribute most, and try out alternatives to see how they change the outcome.
What the software does
Ranks your biggest contributors, points out where the largest savings sit, and updates your results instantly when you swap a product or adjust a quantity.Step 6 of 6
Download a ready-to-share report
What you do
Choose the report you need and download it.
What the software does
Generates Word and Excel reports tailored to your calculation tool, including certification-ready formats such as a BREEAM submission report.See it in action
Take a self-guided tour to explore the software at your own pace, or book a demo call to see how it fits your products and standards.

How leading firms cut carbon, meet regulations, and earn certifications
AECOM driving low carbon, climate-resilient solutions for the City of Montréal
"One Click LCA played a pivotal role in embedding sustainability into this project by providing actionable insights early in the design process."
Jérémy Lagneau
ESG and Decarbonization Advisor at AECOM
NTT DATA gets ahead of the EPBD’s 2028 whole-life carbon mandate
"Carbon Designer 3D lets us show a client, in minutes, what a 22% reduction in embodied carbon looks like when you move from conventional concrete to low-carbon mixes, recycled rebar, and CLT above grade."
Daniel Corbi
Technical Engineering Manager Green Transition & Sustainability Strategy at NTT DATA
Ramboll earns BREEAM and cuts carbon by 60%
"The software allows us to standardize carbon assessments within the company globally and has enabled the creation of a carbon benchmarking database that allows input from multiple software providers."
Lucas van Laack
Sustainability Director at Ramboll Norway
A Game-Changer for Sustainable Design and Life Cycle Assessment
"What I like best about One Click LCA is how it simplifies the complex process of life cycle assessment and integrates directly into our existing design workflow. It makes sustainability measurable in a way that’s practical and actionable, even while we’re still learning the platform. The data visualization and material impact insights help us make better decisions early in the design phase. And having access to knowledgeable support—especially from Mohammad Seyedabadi—makes the learning process smooth and encouraging."
One Click LCA is a lifesaver for an LCA assessor in the industry
"The team are really quick and efficient!"
Good Quality Software
"The software is clearly laid out and makes it difficult to miss out any important data. It is clear throughout the process as to how much carbon each individual building element is producing and where the biggest savings could be yielded.
Customer support staff have been very helpful with the onboarding process, scheduling multiple review and catch-up sessions.
The software connects easily with IES VE which we also use as a company. This allows for a big time saving."
Clear Onboarding and Cohesive Sustainability Workflows in One Click LCA
"One Click LCA was my first hands‑on exposure to carbon measurement and sustainability, introduced in clear and manageable steps. I valued the structured guidance and strong onboarding support. The platform connects core sustainability elements—from EPDs and standards such as BREEAM and RICS to practical workflows including Revit integration—into a cohesive experience."
User-Friendly Platform with Excellent Database
"The database and ease to use platform for construction"
Great tool for LCA and Embodied Carbon. Great Customer Service
"Customer service is great."
