Plugging the Environmental Data Gap
The AEC industry has continually been confronted with the constraint of lacking environmental data for MEP elements. This has constrained the capacity of professionals to realistically determine the embodied carbon of their structures. Schneider Electric's work with One Click LCA bridges the gap by providing vital insights to architects, engineers, designers, and sustainability experts.
Enabling Informed Sustainability Decisions
With Schneider Electric's electrical product environmental product declarations now widely available on the One Click LCA platform, these experts can use them with confidence in including the environmental impact of their electrification choices within project life cycle analyses. This enables them to make informed choices that serve to minimize MEP carbon emissions.
A Milestone in Sustainable Progress
Sorouch Kheradmand, Schneider Electric's Global Sustainability Partnership Head, emphasizes the significance of this partnership, noting, "Through sharing this bulk of EPDs for our electrical products on the One Click LCA platform, we are making it easier for professionals in the AEC sector to select the most sustainable products."
Fostering Industry-Wide Change
One Click LCA CEO & Founder Panu Pasanen echoes the sentiment, saying, " Schneider Electric is leading the MEP industry in publishing a huge amount of EPD data for their product on our platform. Contractors and engineers need clear knowledge of the footprint of all their materials to build sustainably. We hope that this pioneering step by Schneider Electric will encourage others to open up their EDP data more widely."
A Joint Leap to Sustainability and Transparency
The partnership between One Click LCA and Schneider Electric is a great step towards greater transparency and sustainability in the AEC industry. With the availability of EPDs, the partnership allows specialists to make informed choices that reduce the environmental impact of their projects. With Schneider Electric leading the charge, it is hoped that more will follow and further push the adoption of sustainable practices in construction.
