For too long, the environmental impact of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems has been underestimated, especially compared to structural and architectural elements. However, case studies, particularly those involving industrial buildings, reveal a significant impact. Unfortunately, most off-the-shelf lifecycle analysis (LCA) solutions don't address MEP. As a global leader in design and consulting services, Jacobs is here to change that. We've developed and built a custom Power BI visual. This innovative tool pulls both models and their associated metadata directly into Power BI. Our LCA experts then took things a step further. They developed calculations that convert the extracted data on quantities, dimensions, and materials into measurable global warming impacts. The result? Powerful LCA dashboards with clear model visuals. These tools empower our engineers and clients to make data-driven decisions that minimize the global warming impact of their designs.
