Carbon Calculation - Export data to One Click LCA

Tekla Structural Designer
Environment
Not environment-specific
The impact of embodied carbon within construction is under ever greater scrutiny and engineers are often now required to assess the Building Carbon Footprint of their projects. An exciting and powerful new feature is now available to assist within Tekla Structural Designer. The engineer can now easily create a report of the project materials to quickly determine its embodied carbon using One Click LCA. As shown in the picture below, a new button for this has been added to the BIM Integration ribbon. This automatically compiles a summary of materials in the project which can then either be uploaded to One Click LCA or viewed directly.

When the One Click LCA export button is selected, the One Click LCA Report options dialog is displayed as shown below. To view the report directly, click the “Show report” option - the report is written to an Excel (*.xlsx) file, which will open automatically provided you have an installed application associated with this file type. Alternatively you can send the data directly to One Click LCA cloud by entering your One Click LCA credentials.

In One Click LCA you can then create or choose a project for your data, consider groupings and review/ apply mapping. An example of how this looks is shown below. For further information on using One Click LCA see the One Click LCA website.
