As a user I would like to choose the Imperial units as a system of measurement.
Certifier Review Statement – Improvement
The new Scenarios feature is very helpful to assess different strategies individually. However, when a Proposed Design is modelled and certified using it, the Certifier Review Statement only pulls the certification communication (quality check iterations) from the last scenario, which decreases the transparency and granularity of the final analysis.
Better Integration of EPD’s
We are required to report a full breakdown of individual module impacts across the various elements (Substructure, Superstructure etc.) for the purposes of Net Zero Carbon reporting. Currently any EPD’s used don’t appear in the All Impacts Report as an individual breakdown, instead they are grouped into one entry labelled as ‘blank’.
Clone Project or Structure
It would be great if whole projects or whole structures could be cloned, not just individual designs
Un-Certify – Re-Certify Design Feature
Allow a design to be un-certified and re-certified. This might be needed if a new certification requirement arises (such as if a new rating scheme is being applied that requires additional certification checks), or if changes need to be made post-certification.
Include “Branch” Scenarios in LCA Reports
When using the scenarios feature it is common to model scenarios that are not progressed in the main tree. Currently those “branch” scenarios are not included in the LCA and LCD Feedback reports. It would be valuable for clients and receivers of these reports if all of the side branch scenarios modelled were included in […]
Reporting EPD Impacts
We are using the All Impacts excel to provide our teams with information on the breakdown of impacts across the different elements and templates. The All Impacts Pivot Tables doesn’t pick up EPD’s in a useful form, it just collates the information together into entry labelled as ‘blank’. Whilst we appreciate that EPD’s work in […]
Default vs manual New Product to Site (A4 transport to site) settings
I have recently learnt that when adding a material to a new template, if the transport to site settings are set as ‘default’ then this part of the data (transport distance to site, modes of transport) is subject to change depending on the location of the project/design space in which the new template is eventually […]
Report any combination of functions
It would be useful to be able to report (generate reports) with any combination of the design functions, i.e. in a design with 4 functions, be able to create reports covering 2 of those functions. This would be particularly useful for infrastructure projects, which often contain several functions, but would also provide extra functionality for […]
Export of Templates
Can scripted export of all the template names, UoM etc e maid available so that it could be incorporated into an excel sheet so that when we are choosing the template to match an existing item from our cost plan we can easily choose this. this then forms the basis of the upload and subsequent […]
Summary results at item level
As a user I want to have an overview of a material’s or other item’s impacts by simply finding it on the templates or categories tab.
Infrastructure oriented Categorisation
As a user I need to assign appropriate categories to materials and other items for infrastructure projects.
Group or create templates in the project environment
As a user I need to create new templates that sometimes have minor changes from existing available templates and thus don’t want to overload my library with similar templates. In these case I want the ability to create new templates in the project space by either starting from scratch in there, or being able to […]
“Model Changes” field at Recommendations
As a user I need to keep notes of what changes are being performed when modelling a new recommendation/scenario to be able to get back and fix things if needed and for the certifier to be able to track these changes faster. Currently this is done either out of the app’s environment or within the […]
Materials’ density at All Impacts report
Some users use the Data Tab of the All Impacts report for further analysis of the results. In terms of materials, currently only the mass can be retrieved from the report. It would be useful if the density was also reported in one of the columns so that volumes can be calculated if needed.
