How is the
Vizcab Environmental Score calculated?

Our software extracts environmental data from complex documents such as environmental data sheets, relating them to the material family and name, in order to propose a performance comparison taking into account the product's lifespan and equivalent functional units.

This carbon score is calculated dynamically in line with France's environmental regulations.

This first version of the Vizcab Score BETA is deliberately broader than a simple carbon score, to explore the different impacts of construction products, using a multi-criteria approach.

A single score to aggregate all these impacts is also currently being developed in conjunction with the various stakeholders.

We look forward to hearing from you!

How is the Vizcab Environmental Score calculated?

It was developed by Vizcab researchers, who have published over 50 scientific papers on the carbon footprint of products and buildings. It has also been the subject of a publication validated by the scientific community and presented at SBE-22 in Berlin to a community of experts from various European markets.
