Case Study: BranchPattern achieves an estimated 40% embodied carbon reduction with One Click LCA

BranchPattern achieves 40% embodied carbon reduction with One Click LCA

BranchPattern, a building science consultancy, worked with a global real estate client who had a net-zero target for a major adaptive reuse project. Their challenge was to support early-stage design with actionable life-cycle assessment insights to achieve the highest possible embodied carbon reduction. To meet this goal, they used the One Click LCA software.

Using One Click LCA’s extensive EPD library and tools like Life-cycle Carbon – North America, BranchPattern was able to provide detailed carbon reduction consulting. This enabled the project team to incorporate significant building reuse and recommend optimized low-carbon material choices. The solution resulted in an estimated 40% total embodied carbon reduction for the project, with key metrics including a 7% carbon reduction from material reuse alone.
