Project GWP Impacts over 60-year life cycle (BREEAM 2018 scope).
“eTools prebuilt templates made it relatively easy to build up the baseline LCA model and then quickly compare different design options to help meet BREEAM 2018 requirements. The interface also helped us to easily recognise which building elements were contributing the most to the overall environmental impact from the building and show what improvements are possible through alternative design solutions and materials.
Thanks to all the team at eTool for their ongoing help.”
