henrik●innovation launches new dynamic LCA tool

Based on the methodology in the new DGNB 2025 manual henrik●innovation has developed a groundbreaking tool for dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

With this new tool, it becomes possible to analyze how different materials impact the carbon footprint over time. Additionally, the dynamic LCA tool can identify “hotspots” – materials and processes that create particularly large carbon footprints – and show how the carbon footprint of materials is weighted differently compared to traditional methods. While some materials may play a significant role in a classic LCA (according to building regulations), they may have a different weight in the dynamic LCA.

This tool is therefore an essential resource for construction projects that wish to optimize their climate strategies based on in-depth data and insights. With the ability to identify hotspots and compare dynamic and traditional assessments, the tool can be an important support for the construction industry in developing targeted climate actions that meet both national requirements and the project’s ambitions for DGNB certification. This is where the tool significantly differs from other common LCA programs like LCAbyg, where dynamic analyses are not possible.

henrik●innovation’s tool thus makes it easier to develop strategies that account for changes in the carbon footprint over time, which is increasingly important for construction due to the length of the lifecycle.
