BIM to LCA: how it works

Building information modeling holds a significant share of the data needed to run a life cycle assessment. The question is how to move that data efficiently, accurately, and without starting from scratch.

This free training session covers the connection between BIM workflows and whole-building LCA: where the data lives in your model, how it maps to life cycle assessment inputs, and what stands between a well-structured BIM file and a reliable embodied carbon result.

What you’ll learn:

• How BIM data maps to LCA inputs and where gaps typically occur
• How to extract and prepare quantities for use in an LCA calculation
• Which data points drive the most significant results, and which are less critical
• How to identify and resolve common data quality issues before they affect your output

Who should attend the training:

Structural engineers, architects, sustainability consultants, and BIM managers working on projects where embodied carbon reporting is required or anticipated, including projects subject to LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, or emerging regulatory requirements.

Duration: 60 minutes, including Q&A
