What if climate impact data were part of early parametric urban planning? Join us on 13 March when we launch LCA Volume.
LCA Volume is a Grasshopper-based script for Rhino, providing you with CO₂ estimates directly in Rhino based on the volumes and geometries you define as an architect.
The purpose is to operationalise CO₂-reduction. It makes climate impact an integrated parameter in early-stage design, alongside other variables already used in parametric design.
Integrating LCA Volume directly into existing software and workflows makes it user-friendly and easy to implement across architectural practices.
The tool applies to master planning projects across Denmark.
The indicative results will help to convey the effect of design choices to clients and highlight conservation and adaptive reuse as a competitive alternative to new construction.
The LCA Volume includes benchmarks from the Paris Agreement-aligned Reduction Roadmap and the national building code.
The methods are research-based and developed in collaboration with Aarhus University.
The launch will be a beta version.
Friday 13 March, we launch the project at the Aarhus Center for Regenerative Construction with the dedicated team:
-Mikkel Schlesinger, Partner, CEBRA
- Stina Rask Jensen, Head of Transformation and Conservation, CEBRA
- Jacob Christensen, Senior Architect, CEBRA
- Steffen Petersen, Professor, Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Aarhus University
- Pil Brix Purup, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Aarhus University
When: Friday, 13 March, 10.00-11.30
Where: Europaplads 8, 8000 Aarhus C

The project is supported by Mere and AU Connect. Bevar Mere is a joint industry initiative by Grundejernes Investeringsfond, Dreyers Fond, Landsbyggefonden, and Realdania
