ISC Approval: Our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Tool Earns 'Equivalent' Status

We are proud to share that our Life Cycle Assessment Tool has received formal ISC Approval as 'equivalent' to the Infrastructure Sustainability Materials Calculator.

ISC (Infrastructure Sustainability Council) certified projects can now leverage Perspektiv's LCA Tool in place of the IS Materials calculator for IS V2.1 Rso-6 Material Life Cycle Impact Measurement and Management or V1.2 Mat-1 Materials lifecycle impact measurement and reduction credits. This development is a testament to our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for our clients.

Since its inception in 2018, Perspektiv's LCA Tool has been instrumental in helping our clients quantify impacts and drive savings across a range of sustainability credits. It has given verifiers confidence in the ISC resource credits results and is useful for decisions making by project teams. Refined with years of use it focuses on transparency and ease of interpretation with a format specific to each project.

Our team of Perspektiv LCA practitioners is dedicated to ensuring that our modelling complies with the minimum requirements set forth by the ISC LCA Guideline. They undertake independent reviews on a national scale and align with ISC’s LCA review requirements. We provide a comprehensive and convenient solution for your next ISC project, from impact measurement to assessment and review.
