  In the world of sustainable building design, one of the most effective tools for assessing environmental impacts is   Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) . LCA is a systematic approach that evaluates the environmental impacts associated with a product or material from its inception (raw material extraction) to its disposal (end-of-life). When it comes to sustainable building, LCA data plays a crucial role in guiding decisions that minimize a building’s carbon footprint and reduce its environmental impact. One important aspect of LCA is generic materials data production and understanding how this data is created and applied can help architects, engineers, and builders make more sustainable choices. What is LCA Data? LCA data refers to the information used in  Life Cycle Assessment  to quantify the environmental impacts of a material or product over its entire life cycle. It includes the collection of data on resources consumed (energy, water, raw materials) and the emission...

  In a world racing toward net zero, every watt counts. While   embodied carbon   has been in the spotlight for its "front-loaded" emissions, it’s   operational carbon , especially what we measure in   LCA Module B6 , that defines a building’s long-term relationship with the planet. And with decarbonizing grids, building electrification, and performance benchmarking evolving fast, understanding Operational Carbon isn’t just important it’s   mission critical . What is Operational Carbon? Operational Carbon  represents the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the energy a building uses throughout its  use phase : heating, cooling, lighting, and powering systems. In Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) terms, this falls under  Module B6  (energy use), and is typically reported in  metric tons CO₂e per year . It's not just a number, it’s a mirror reflecting how the building performs day-to-day in the real world. Why B6 Matters More Than...

  In today’s world, sustainability and transparency are more important than ever. As industries face increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprints and address environmental concerns,   Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)   have become a vital tool for driving more sustainable practices. Particularly in the construction and manufacturing sectors, EPDs provide an in-depth, standardized overview of the environmental impact of products. But what exactly is an EPD, and how can it help manufacturers and professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries make more sustainable decisions? In this blog, we will explore the role of EPDs in creating a low-carbon future, the steps involved in generating an EPD, and why these declarations are crucial for reducing the environmental impact of building projects. What Is an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)? An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a scientifically backed, third-party...

  Introduction In India’s fast-growing industrial landscape,  critical infrastructure projects  like large factories,  semiconductor fabs ,  data centers , and process plants demand flawless execution. Project Management Consultancy (PMC) services play a pivotal role in these projects by acting as the owner’s expert representative to plan, coordinate, and control every aspect from design through delivery. By ensuring projects meet their scope, schedule, budget, and quality targets, a capable PMC can make the difference between a successful plant launch and costly overruns. This article explores the value of PMC for factories and high-tech facilities in India and how  Desapex ’s digital-first approach  sets it apart from traditional international project consultants. We’ll also share a  case study  of how Desapex supported a major client through pre-construction, construction, and handover using cutting-edge digital tools. The Value of PMC in ...
