Core Features
Enperas positions Quadrant as a pre-configured LCA workflow driven by high-quality background data, where life-cycle stages and assumptions are already set up so users don’t need to model from the ground up. Some of its main features are:
Hotspot drill-down: Maintains an overview across products/facilities and supports drilling into specific areas to identify hotspots and improvement opportunities.
Multiple LCA methods: Lets users choose among methods/standards such as MKI, FDES and EN 15804+A2.
Life-cycle stage editing: Allows modification of life-cycle stages and drill-down to see which materials or production steps drive impacts.
Product comparisons: Supports comparisons across products when lifecycle scope and the underlying LCA model are kept consistent.
CSRD-oriented outputs: Reports 19 impact categories, calculates a PEF single score, and generates a materiality report aligned to ESRS classes for KPI reporting.
EPD roadmap scaling: Helps compare variability within product groups and reuse primary data when outputs are needed under different EPD program methodologies.
Closing Insights
Enperas presents the LCA Quadrant Tool as the software outcome of LCA/EPD know-how that grew out of applied research. It describes itself as an EnergyVille and VITO spin-off, led by CEO/founder Luc Plancke, formerly VITO’s business manager on LCA/EPD and previously 15 years at Saint-Gobain Construction and Etex. That background shows up in Quadrant’s positioning: pre-set life-cycle stages and assumptions, plus outputs intended for third-party verification. Enperas also says its Quadrant Tool, consultancy and EPD services are trusted by over 90 manufacturers across different sectors.
Commercially, Enperas sells Quadrant as a single organisation licence with setup consultancy and ongoing updates of standards, methods, data records and scenarios. Enperas does not explicitly label the calculations produced by Quadrant as process-based or input-output (I-O) LCA. Nevertheless, for manufacturers building EPD roadmaps or supporting ecodesign and EU reporting, Quadrant may suit teams that want a vendor-maintained, method-driven workflow rather than a tool that requires users to construct technical LCA models from scratch.
