GA Smart Building, a long-standing player in green construction
Problems encountered
- Around thirty Life Cycle Assessment studies per year for one project manager, many of which have a certification objective.
- A need to reduce the time spent per LCA study, in order to move towards a gradual internalization of carbon strategy and know-how.
- A need to visualize and manage carbon impacts and circular economies on a group-wide scale.
Our solution
Over the year 2022, GA Smart Building is one of our most active users, with no fewer than 190 studies and variants created on Vizcab Eval.
The company made the most of our Regulatory LCA tool in the following areas:
- Rapid studies thanks to environmental data import and association functions.
- Performance in the analysis of the environmental impact of its projects, using our graphs and datavisualization functions. A key feature has been the "15 most impactful project files" graph, which helps identify the most efficient areas for improvement.
- The collaborative nature of the tool, designed to fit into the value chain of a project involving numerous collaborators and stakeholders.
Customer testimonial
"Vizcab Eval is very intuitive and easy to use, both for novices and LCA experts. The detection of EPD sheets saves us a lot of time. Functionalities such as the visualization of impactful sheets and visual graphs enable us to produce effective, hard-hitting studies.

The expert's opinion
Thomas, Sustainable Building Engineer
At Vizcab, we are proud to have enabled GA Smart Buildings to industrialize its LCA practice. The suggested form and automated PDF report are real levers for acceleration, enabling the teams to reduce the time required per study from 5 to 2.5 days, compared with their previous building LCA software!
GA Smart Buildings is also an innovative player involved in a number of certification schemes (BBCA, BREEAM, future RE2020 labels), whosecarbon targets have been greatly simplified by the use of our Impact Scorecard graphic, which has become a central optimization tool for them.
We owe a great deal to the Hellen Belou team, whose feedback has led to numerous improvements to our product.
Together, we can decarbonize the construction sector!
