Changelog: BR18 2025 Deep Dive, Insights Enhancements, Speckle Nextgen & More

Hey again, @Community :waving_hand:

This release continues our momentum with deep compliance support, refined workflows, and major behind-the-scenes upgrades. Here’s what we’ve been building:


:denmark: 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.


:busts_in_silhouette: 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.


:repeat_button: 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.


:brick: +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!


:wrench: 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.


:rocket: Speckle Nextgen: Ready for the Future

We’ve upgraded our Speckle servers to the latest version, which brings two major benefits:

  1. :white_check_mark: Nextgen Connectors for Revit, Rhino, and Archicad are now supported.

  2. :brick: 3D Model Viewer Coming Soon – The upgrade paves the way for native model previews inside the platform.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: 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.
