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
