Archifm.net - Facility Management Service. Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) service. Environmental impacts of construction products and processes We provide a variety of profiling and modelling services to help companies understand how their product, materials and systems will perform and how they might improve the environmental performance of their products.
These Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies support BREEAM and Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) assessments. This pre certification process is a flexible service that provides advice and guidance to manufacturers to understand how changing their process, products or materials may affect their environmental performance. In June 2008, BRE published the Green Guide to Specifications following a wide consultation with UK industries. The Green Guide specifications are based on the BRE Global Environmental Profiles Scheme for Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for construction products.
LCA services can be combined and tailored to the needs of each client. LCA modelling/ environmental profile modelling. Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment - Carnegie Mellon University.

360 for PLM - Product Lifecycle Management. Commercial Building Initiative: Commercial Building Design Guides. The Building Technologies Office (BTO) works with the commercial building industry to accelerate the uptake of energy efficiency technologies and techniques in both existing and new commercial buildings.
By developing, demonstrating, and deploying cost-effective solutions, BTO strives to reduce energy consumption across the commercial building sector by at least 1,600 TBtu. Key Tools and Resources Partner with the DOE Demonstrate your leadership by committing to an energy savings pledge with the Better Buildings Challenge.Join the Better Buildings Alliance to advance new energy efficiency technologies and learn from other building owners and operators.Learn about more partnership opportunities with the DOE. Energy Analysis - Building Technology Analysis Models and Tools. Use models and tools developed or supported by NREL to assess, analyze, and optimize renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies for your project.
Many of these tools can be applied on a global, regional, local, or project basis. NREL models and tools include several designed for the consumer or energy professional. PVWatts Estimates the electricity production of a grid-connected roof- or ground-mounted photovoltaic system based on a few simple inputs. The Energy DataBus Open-source software that collects massive amounts of energy-related data at second-to-second intervals. Geothermal Prospector Designed to provide easy access to geothermal resource datasets and other data relevant to utility-scale geothermal power projects.
