Hey again, @Community
This release continues our momentum with deep compliance support, refined workflows, and major behind-the-scenes upgrades. Here’s what we’ve been building:
BR18 2025: Compliance Goes Deeper
We’re doubling down on our leadership in supporting BR18 2025:
-
Standard Values for Terminal Processes: Now available for projects using the BR18 2025 calculation type
-
Low Emission 2025: Introduced as a new calculation type, offering another verified pathway for your project documentation.
-
Multiple Fuels for A5 Stage: Flexibility added—supporting more than one machinery fuel type for more realistic modeling.
-
Updated Threshold Reporting: BR18 2025 reports now reflect the correct new limits—ensuring full compliance.
Project Setup & A5 Fuel Flexibility
-
LCA Responsible: You can now designate a responsible person for the LCA directly in Project Settings.
-
Number of Users / Persons: Specify this in your project, and we’ll calculate insights per person—visible in the Project Info Carousel.
-
This also is marks the start of us working on conformity checks for DGNB Denmark 2025 projects.
Data Reuse & Library Expansion
-
Overwrite EPD Lifetimes: You now have the option to override lifetime values for mapped EPDs with existing lifetimes.
-
+200 Constructions from Byggforsk.no: Added to the Construction Library—find them via the new Owner filter.
+50 New Manufacturer EPDs Added
Thanks to your requests via the community, we’ve added 50+ EPDs from leading manufacturers, including:
BMI Denmark, Boligbeton A/S, CRH Concrete A/S, DAFA Building Solutions A/S, Flügger Group A/S, Forbo, Gemina Termix, Hunton Fiber AS, Leth Beton A/S, Moland Group A/S, Palsgaard Spær A/S og Palsgaard Spær A/S Afdl. Roust, Phønix Tag Materialer A/S, Vejle Kalk- og Mørtelværk A/S and more…
You can find them now in the platform—keep the requests coming via our EPD thread!
Improvements & Fixes
-
More QA, Less Noise: All public materials and constructions have been set to non-public by default—ensuring only high-quality, verified data is searchable.
-
Transport & Waste Mapping: Bugs fixed and stability improved.
-
User Role Fix: Contributors can no longer mistakenly assign Admin roles—security and governance tightened.
Speckle Nextgen: Ready for the Future
We’ve upgraded our Speckle servers to the latest version, which brings two major benefits:
-
Nextgen Connectors for Revit, Rhino, and Archicad are now supported.
-
3D Model Viewer Coming Soon – The upgrade paves the way for native model previews inside the platform.
Detailed upgrade instructions for the new connectors will be shared in a separate post.
As always, thank you for helping us build the future of climate-smart construction.
