Live Connection to Database
Assign embodied carbon definitions to materials via a live connection to SDA databases.
This includes:
- EC3
- Ökobau.dat (Germany focused)
Flexible Embodied Carbon Definition Assignment
Assign embodied carbon definitions to materials directly in Insight at any time. Advanced search allows you to visualize assigned definitions across the model. Assign embodied carbon definitions from different databases within the same model maintaining maximum flexibility across geographies and data sources.
Default embodied carbon definitions:
- Generic Estimates: Represent typical processes for average products.
- Statistical Results: Globally applicable product category data.
- Custom Definitions: User created embodied carbon definitions for custom materials or processes.
