Introducing NBS LCA

Wednesday 10th June - 11.00AM 

Join us for the launch of a powerful new carbon platform, that makes low carbon decision making faster, clearer and easier at every stage of your project. 

We’ve developed NBS LCA to help construction professionals understand, compare and   reduce the carbon impact of their projects more efficiently. 

It brings together trusted construction data and expertise, in a user-friendly platform developed in partnership with lifecycle assessment experts Circular Ecology (operators of the ICE database) and global multi-disciplinary architecture and design practice BDP. 

In this webinar, you’ll see NBS LCA in action, including demonstrations of how to

  • access and compare carbon data for tens of thousands of materials and products – both generic and proprietary.
  • use thousands of pre-assembled building elements and their associated carbon data.
  • create live, upfront carbon assessments for your projects.

During a panel discussion with sustainability experts from BDP and Knauf UK & Ireland, you’ll also learn from their approach to carbon decisions and see how NBS LCA has been designed to address the specific challenges faced by UK design teams with tailored data and content.

Register now, to see how NBS LCA can help you make carbon decisions early, confidently, and proportionately across everyday projects.
