One Click LCA has been officially validated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) under its new Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) Software Validation Programme, making it the first software globally to meet the RICS WLCA 2nd edition standard.
This independent validation confirms that One Click LCA delivers consistent, transparent, and compliant whole-life carbon assessments — aligned with the industry’s most trusted standard for carbon reporting in the built environment.
“This milestone reinforces our commitment to high-quality, standardised carbon assessments and supports the industry’s transition to low-carbon construction,” said Panu Pasanen, CEO, One Click LCA
The validation covers all life-cycle stages (A–D), including biogenic carbon tracking, and confirms alignment with the RICS WLCA reporting format and methodology.
“Validating software against our WLCA standard brings much-needed consistency to carbon reporting. We’re pleased to name One Click LCA as the first validated platform,” said Anil Sawhney, Head of Sustainability, RICS
As the RICS WLCA standard gains traction across regulations and reporting frameworks, this validation helps professionals meet compliance with confidence – using a tool already trusted by thousands worldwide.
