Automating infrastructure LCA with AI & BIM: live demo

Why do most infrastructure teams struggle with carbon assessment? Because it typically means:

• Weeks of manual data extraction from BIM models
• Generic transport assumptions that don't reflect real supply chains
• Excel chaos across disciplines with no version control
• Results that arrive too late to influence design decisions

This webinar shows you a different approach. In a 45-minute live demo led by Alain Mardo (Project Director) and Corentin Rouger (Product Manager), we will tackle:

😳 From BIM model to carbon footprint in minutes

See how ORIS's open BIM module handles:

• Universal format compatibility (IFC, RVT, DWG, DGN)
• AI-powered material mapping: automatic classification of BIM elements to LCA categories
• Web-based carbon heatmaps: identify hotspots visually without leaving the model
• Real early-stage optioneering: compare design alternatives with cost and carbon in the same workflow

Live demo: We'll upload a BIM file and generate a carbon assessment during the session.

🚢 Beyond generic transport assumptions: multimodal carbon assessment

Most LCA tools force you to use national averages for transport. ORIS lets you model reality:

• Supplier-specific sourcing: compare actual supplier locations vs. generic distances
• Multimodal transport chains: road, rail, ship combinations that match your supply chain
• Scenario planning: test "what if we source locally?" or "what if we use rail instead of road?"
• Scope 3 alignment: transport data structured for carbon reporting requirements

Live demo: We'll show how a single material choice cascades through transport emissions.

🏎️ Workflow optimisation/enhanced collaboration: Workspaces and Libraries

Stop rebuilding the wheel on every project:

• Project workspaces: organise all your assessments, portfolios, and project files in one place
• Material libraries: country-specific, organisation-wide, or custom construction assemblies
• Reusable templates: capture your standards once, deploy across teams

Live demo: We'll show how these two features help team accelerate their calculations

👀 What we're building next: ORIS product roadmap sneak peek

Get a glimpse and discuss the things we are building right now:

• New material search with multi-selection
• Excel-to-BOQ extraction with AI hierarchy mapping
• Version control for assessments

💁 Who should attend

This webinar is designed for:

• Sustainability managers at engineering consultancies or contractors wrestling with carbon calculation workflows
• Project (civil, pavement, road) engineers doing early-stage optioneering and tired of spreadsheet LCA
• BIM managers looking to extract carbon value from models you're already creating
• Infrastructure clients (public authorities, contractors) who need carbon reporting but lack internal capacity

💡 What you'll leave with

• Clarity on whether AI-powered BIM workflows can actually work for your projects
• Specific time savings you can expect (we'll share real user metrics)
• Understanding of where LCA automation helps vs. where expert judgment still matters
