Axosomatic CarbonLCA

Measure building carbon early. Reduce it before construction.

Axosomatic CarbonLCA is a web-based Building Life Cycle Assessment solution that quantifies embodied and operational carbon across the full building life cycle, from material extraction to end-of-life.

From quarry to demolition

We measure the carbon story of the building.

Every material specified, every structural system selected, and every construction sequence approved carries a carbon impact. Axosomatic CarbonLCA converts those decisions into a clear carbon profile that supports better design, procurement, and planning decisions.

The objective is simple. Measure building carbon early, identify the highest-impact sources, and support reduction decisions before construction and operation make them harder to change.

Building life cycle stages

Four stages. One complete carbon view.

A building's carbon footprint spans the product stage, construction stage, use phase, end-of-life stage, and the potential benefits beyond the system boundary. Together, they show where emissions are created and where reductions are possible.

A

Product and construction

Measures emissions from raw material extraction, transport to manufacturer, manufacturing, transport to site, and construction site activities using project-specific quantities and Environmental Product Declaration emission factors.

B

Use phase

Estimates emissions from in-use materials, maintenance, repair, replacement, refurbishment, operational energy, and operational water across the building lifespan.

C

End of life

Quantifies emissions from deconstruction and demolition, transport of demolition waste, waste processing and sorting, and disposal to landfill.

D

Beyond the system boundary

Reports potential benefits from reuse, recycling, energy recovery, and structural element recovery, with whole-life carbon shown with and without Module D.

Carbon intelligence

Built for evidence-led planning and carbon reduction decisions.

Axosomatic CarbonLCA brings together material quantities, emission factors, artificial intelligence prediction, climate-adjusted operational benchmarks, and grid decarbonization assumptions to create a clear carbon assessment

Project-specific quantities Uses building material quantities and project parameters to calculate carbon impact at life cycle stage level.
Environmental Product Declarations Applies emission factors from Environmental Product Declarations where available for stronger material-level evidence.
Artificial intelligence prediction Supports forecasting for operational, maintenance, replacement, and end-of-life emissions when future conditions must be estimated.
Benchmarks and trajectories Uses climate-adjusted energy benchmarks and grid decarbonization trajectories to support long-term carbon scenarios.

The output

Building Carbon Footprint Report

The report translates the full life cycle assessment into decision-ready carbon evidence for design teams, construction leaders, developers, and public planning authorities.

Covers all EN 15978 stages from construction to demolition, including Module D when relevant.
Reports results in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per square meter of Gross Internal Area.
Benchmarks performance against the Royal Institute of British Architects 2030 Climate Challenge carbon budget.
Supports project-level reduction decisions and broader city-level emissions planning.
Aligned with leading building carbon assessment standards and green building expectations.

Who we support

Built for teams that shape the built environment.

CarbonLCA supports the people who need clear, defensible carbon evidence before design, construction, investment, and planning decisions are finalized.

01

Architects

Compare design options and reduce carbon impact before material and structural decisions are locked in.

02

Construction managers

Understand how construction methods, sequencing, transport, and site activities affect total carbon.

03

Developers

Use carbon intelligence to support investment, procurement, sustainability reporting, and stakeholder confidence.

04

City planning officers

Scale building-level evidence into wider urban carbon planning and emissions reduction strategies.
