CARBON EFFICIENCY
CarbonEfficiency.Ai is a software platform for architects, interiors designers, specifiers and facilities management companies seeking to reduce and report the carbon impact of interiors. The platform brings together materials suppliers, equipment and furniture manufactures, all of whom offer ‘circular’ products and promote the benefits of 2nd life. All powered by Carbon Efficiency.
'CARBON'
A key reporting metric that’s driving demand for certification from specifiers and end users. We start with the basic reporting requirement every purchasing department needs: ISO14067 for Scope 3 calculations.
'EFFICIENCY'
The key word we focused on while developing our second generation software platform CEV2. At the forefront of our mind was – how can we ensure designers can focus on designing not auditing?
METHODOLOGY
Carbon Efficiency: A simplified reporting method that measures the whole life carbon footprint, against life and floor space, as a measured rating. It allows us to measure and score the 1st life of the product, estimate the 2nd life score and also indicate the average score by product type. ISO59004 defines ‘reuseʼ as; ‘use of a product or its component parts after their initial use, for the same purpose for which they were originally designedʼ. We determine ‘2nd lifeʼ as a form of reuse, encompassing reuse, repair or remanufacture.
CIRCULARITY
We also report the circularity of products, principally by reporting their recycled content, refurbishability and recyclability. Manufacturers can only qualify for 2nd life reporting if they offer a refurbishment scheme, either directly, or through partners.
% of recycled content within materials per functional unit
% that is repairable or refurbishable per functional unit
% of materials that can be recycled per functional unit
CARBON REDUCTION PLANNING
MORE THAN JUST PRODUCT CERTIFICATION. AN INTERCONNECTED SOURCE OF DATA, CREDIBILITY, AND TRACEABILITY
FURNITURE PASSPORT

CIRCULAR PRODUCT DECLARATION
FURNITURE, FIXTURE, & EQUIPMENT CARBON REPORT
The Furniture Passport provides an easy-to-access central storage point for all of your product data, certification and information.
The Ecolabel simplifies the results of the CPD, and links directly to manufacturer websites and our full product directory.
The CPD provides whole life carbon reporting to ISO 14067 and ISO59040, for 1st and 2nd product life.
The FF&E report collates all the 1st life product carbon footprint data. It also highlights potential carbon savings from the reuse of products.
FURNITURE PASSPORTS
In preparation for Digital Product Passports, we created a tiered independent certification with passports for manufacturers, allowing them to collate core data as required, product by product. Bronze certificates are aligned to ISO14067, Silver adds ISO59040 and Gold are both ISO14040 and ISO59040 and pre-verified by a third party for EPD application. Each certificate comes with an Ecolabel and graded Furniture Passport, linked via a mobile landing page to our product directory.
CARBON EFFICIENCY ESTIMATOR
During the design stage we offer subscribers the opportunity to calculate up to 3 design simultaneously using our Carbon Efficiency Estimator. Quicker then making a coffee.
CIRCULAR PRODUCT DECLARATION
We offer four tiers of Circular Product Declarations or CPD’s, Bronze through to Platinum. All of them include a whole life carbon footprint assessment and Carbon Efficiency Rating for both 1st and 2nd Life. Silver declarations are supported by a PCDS, Gold are supported by a PCDS and a third party LCA or EPD, and Platinum is achieved by adding a Health Product Declaration or equivalent.
Each CPD comes with a printable ecolabel and Furniture Passport which links to the online product directory.
PRODUCT CIRCULARITY DATA SHEET
We’ve teamed up with Terra Matters in Luxemburg to offer their Product Circular Data Sheets (PCDS), as either part of our Silver, Gold, or Platinum Furniture Passports; or separately. PCDS’ are ISO 59040 and provide an extensive set of data points for circular evaluation and certification. Terra Matters are working with the EU Commission on Digital Product Passports, and these are a key stepping stone to future compliance.
PCDS can be used for furniture products, construction materials, in fact almost any circular product.
FURNITURE FIXTURE & EQUIPMENT REPORT
Our FF&E interior fit-out reports allow architects, interiors designers, specifiers and facilities management companies to report the carbon impact of interiors. More than this, our reports support Carbon Reduction Planning by clearly highlighting the benefits of reuse as a way to reduce the carbon impact of interiors.
The reporting provide both a detailed product listing of products 1st life and potential 2nd life and carbon visualisation of the fitout.
