  In today's world, where sustainability and environmental responsibility are at the forefront of business and consumer decisions, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) stands out as an essential tool for evaluating the environmental impact of products and services. This blog will explore what LCA is, its significance, the process involved, and how it can be leveraged for better decision-making in various industries. What is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)? Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic process used  to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product, service, or system throughout its entire life cycle . This includes every stage, from raw material extraction through production, use, and disposal. The goal of LCA is to identify and quantify the environmental burdens, such as greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and energy consumption, that result from each phase of a product’s life cycle. ‍ Who can benefit from LCA? Companies:  Helps improve product design, reduce envir...

  What COP 27 means for real estate and NetZero As the world leaders meet in Egypt for COP 27, the 27th meeting of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) treaty, it is important to remember that climate change is still a pressing issue. The Earth is going through a lot of changes, and it is happening faster than we thought it would. The ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising, and we are seeing more extreme weather events. We need to find ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and this is something that world leaders need to discuss at this meeting. They need to find ways to finance the transition to a low-carbon economy and they need to come up with a plan to implement these changes. This meeting is important, and we need to make sure that world leaders act on climate change. Global leaders are meeting today to discuss the terms of the collective effort to mitigate, finance, and adapt to climate change. The goal of this meeting ...

  Introduction Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation is consequently challenging, challenges include unstructured data and processes that often lead to time and cost overruns. Having clarity on up to what level of geometry has to be modeled and how much information should include plays an important role in any project which directly affects the time and cost. At this point, LOD comes into the picture, gives clarity, clears many doubts, and sets standard expectations. What is LOD? Level of Detail or Level of Development (LOD) is a theoretical concept to support model development. The idea is that you attach a LOD status attribute to objects in conjunction with standardized reusable checklists. Thus you can, with increased certainty, guarantee a certain quality of  information  at a given point. LOD differs between geometry and properties. A model can be well developed through geometry without having much information concerning the properties of the model. In ...

  What is preventive maintenance and how does it work? Preventive  maintenance  is the act of carrying out routine maintenance tasks to help stop unforeseen failures in the future. In simple words, it’s about fixing things before they break. Condition-monitoring tools are used in preventive maintenance to evaluate asset performance. The implemented sensors capture a broad variety of data from the physical operations of a structure or piece of equipment, such as shocks, temperature, conductivity, etc. Artificial intelligence  or the Internet of Things (IoT) is a crucial component of the process, which enables many systems to collaborate in order to interpret and analyze the collected data to determine the maintenance that should be carried out. With the reduced cost of bandwidth and storage, very large volumes of data may be collected and analyzed to provide not only a true overview of the assets in a single machine but also of the whole production network. Reasons yo...
