Does emersus help you obtain BREEAM UK certification?emersus is certified to achieve credits for the BREEAM UK certification (v6, NC + RFO). It integrates an easy workflow to carry out a compliant LCA study, including a specific export format. emersus is also certified for other regulations and labels, including the French RE2020 regulation, BBCA new and renovation (v3.2), E+C- and BREEAM International (NC & RFO v6) labels.
-
How can emersus help me reduce the carbon footprint of my construction projects?With emersus you can quantify the environmental impact of your project across its entire life cycle, from the production of materials to the end of the building's life. By identifying the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions, you can make informed decisions about construction materials and methods, promoting more sustainable and less polluting options.
-
How much time can emersus save?Powered by intelligent AI algorithms, emersus allows you to edit an LCA in hours, instead of the usual 5 days. It is the fastest and most accurate solution on the market.
-
What file types is Emersus compatible with?Emersus is compatible with Excel formats (.xls, .xlsx, .ods, .csv), RSET, RSEE, software exports such as Elodie and GoBuild. You can import your raw files directly to the platform.
-
How many licenses do I need?To determine how many licenses you need, you should consider the following: Number of users: How many people will use the software? Type of license: Do you want licenses distributed by user or by project? Concurrent use: How many users will need to access the software at the same time?

-
What types of data do I need to enter into the software to get an accurate assessment?In the sketch phase, Emersus calculates the carbon impact of the project based on summary data on the building's characteristics. In the detailed study phase and at construction stage, Emersus carries out the LCA based on the bills of material quantities. The more accurate the data, the more reliable the results will be.
-
How can emersus influence the profitability of a construction project?emersus' economic impact on projects is twofold: emersus reduces the time it takes to complete an LCA study by 80%. Giving you back valuable project hours. By reviewing your carbon impact from the upstream phase (using emersus) you can control the risk of not achieving objectives and regulatory non-compliance, avoiding potential additional costs (adjustments to the project or fines).
-
Are the environmental data (EPDs) regularly updated?Yes, emersus updates the different EPDs databases at least on a monthly basis.
-
How can emersus enhance my architectural design process?By providing accurate data on the environmental impact of construction materials and methods, emersus enables you to integrate sustainability considerations from the earliest design phases. This can guide your choices in favour of greener and innovative architectural solutions, contributing to more efficient and environmentally friendly buildings.
