CARBON FOOTPRINT

1 IFC IMPORT: 

       FACILITATE COLLABORATION

WHEN COMPLEX EXCHANGES SLOW DOWN YOUR PROJECTS

In a dense, multi-stakeholder digital environment, smooth data exchange between software and formats is crucial. Yet many projects still face file incompatibilities, data losses, or duplicates. These obstacles slow coordination and increase costs.

MANY TOOLS, BUT LITTLE COMPATIBILITY

Each project stakeholder (architect, engineer, consultant, supplier) often works on different software. Without a universal exchange format, there’s a high risk of data loss or error. This affects the reliability of the carbon balance, which depends on the accuracy of shared data.

STRUCTURING DATA: A STRATEGIC CHALLENGE

Interoperability is key to a smooth process and a shared vision of the project. By promoting IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) import, SwissEcoCarbone ensures compatibility of digital models and reliability of material and construction system information.

WHAT IF ALL YOUR MODELS SPOKE THE SAME LANGUAGE?

Imagine importing all your 3D models, regardless of the software or specialty. Thanks to our IFC import module, you save time and reduce errors while optimizing team collaboration.

SIMPLIFY YOUR DATA EXCHANGES WITH IFC IMPORT

Easily import your data from open formats (IFC, CSV, Excel) to directly feed your carbon analyses. SwissEcoCarbone automatically interprets project elements (materials, structures, surfaces) to generate instant, reliable calculations.

Your benefits:

• Total interoperability with BIM and specialized software
• Centralized and consistent project data
• Time savings and reduced input errors
• Clear, collaborative model visualization

2 MATERIAL ANALYSIS: CFC RESULTS IN ONE CLICK

With our integrated analysis technology, your materials are automatically classified by CFC category (Construction Cost), based on recognized Swiss databases (KBOB, Ecoinvent, SIA). In seconds, you get a full overview of each component’s emissions.

RELIABLE AND STRUCTURED DATA

Calculations are based on certified, continuously updated databases. You can compare variants and identify the highest-emitting elements to prioritize your actions.

Your benefits:

• Automatic material analysis from IFC model
• Clear, exportable results in seconds
• Faster, data-driven decision-making with carbon insights

3 CARBON REPORT: DETAILED REPORTS INSTANTLY

Our module automatically generates your project’s carbon footprint from imported data. In seconds, you get a complete, exportable report compliant with Swiss standards.

EASILY CONTROL YOUR PROJECT’S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Anticipate the impact of your design choices and identify improvement areas. Compare variants, adjust materials, and achieve sustainability goals without compromising quality or cost.

Your benefits:

• Instant, clear reports compliant with SIA 2040
• Simplified tracking of your CFC-based carbon indicators
• Integrated BIM workflow tool for immediate productivity
