Earlier this month, Capana Group was invited to present at a webinar hosted by the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA), focusing on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools available in Aotearoa New Zealand. Representing Capana Group, our Director Francisco Carbajal provided an overview of LCAQuick (by BRANZ) and LCAlink, our freely available tool.
Alongside Francisco, the webinar brought together a panel of industry leaders, including Tayla Lindsay (Studio Pacific Architecture), Sam Archer (NZGBC), Alice Bui (Cerclos), and Daniel Fernandez (Kainga Ora), to share insights into a range of LCA tools used to assess embodied and operational carbon impacts. The session covered both free and paid tools such as HECC, Green Star Embodied Carbon Calculator, ECCHO, OneClick LCA, Rapid LCA, and ETool, offering a valuable introduction for professionals seeking to integrate carbon assessment into their projects.
Key discussion points included:
• The benefits and limitations of each tool.
• Costs, licensing, and practical applications.
• Suitability for different project types and typologies.
• Guidance on how to get started with each tool.
• Real-world case studies and examples.
It was a privilege to contribute to this industry-wide conversation and see so many professionals coming together to advance carbon assessment capabilities in the built environment.
