Software
Generis is a web-based building life cycle assessment (LCA) tool for architects, planners, and energy consultants offering repeatable evidence during design. Users model a building from standard construction catalogues or create layered constructions from environmental databases such as Ökobau.dat and ESUCO, then evaluate projects using operating parameters. Results include LCA values plus certification credit points, making it easier to iterate on components early and compare alternatives before specifications are fixed. Because it runs in a browser with no local installation, it suits multi-stakeholder shared project work where quick access and consistent calculation rules matter.
