Choosing energy-efficient design, circular materials and smarter data processes doesn’t just reduce environmental impact it reduces cost. We help architects, engineers, manufacturers and builders make that shift, from first concept through to construction and operation.  [Request a consultation](https://auxalia.com/sustainability#form) ![banner-nachhaltigkeit-2](https://auxalia.com/hubfs/banner-nachhaltigkeit-2.jpg) ![content-esg-bim-cad](https://auxalia.com/hubfs/auxalia/images/splits/content-esg-bim-cad.jpg) ## Our approach to sustainable design, construction & manufacturing BIM, CAD and connected data make it possible to optimise a building or product across its entire lifecycle, not just at a single stage. We help our clients put that consistency to work: connecting design, engineering and construction data so that sustainability decisions can be made earlier and measured accurately, at every step.  ## Sustainability Quick Check Not sure where to start? In a one- to two-hour  online-session, we’ll assess your current Sustainability maturity, review your BIM and data processes, identify optimisation opportunities and if useful demonstrate the right software for your needs.  [Request yours now](https://auxalia.com/sustainability#form) ![content-esg-quick-check](https://auxalia.com/hubfs/auxalia/images/splits/content-esg-quick-check.jpg) ![content-esg-matters](https://auxalia.com/hubfs/auxalia/images/splits/content-esg-matters.jpg) ## Why sustainability matters in construction & manufacturing Construction is responsible for a significant share of global emissions and resource use and most of a building’s environmental impact is determined early long before construction starts. That means energy-efficiency measures alone aren’t enough: a genuinely sustainable approach looks at the full lifecycle, from raw material to end of life, across ecological, economic and social dimensions (UN Environment Programme, Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction, 2022).  Climate accounting Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) **Scope 1:** Direct emissions from sources a company owns or controls. **Scope 2:** Indirect emissions from purchased energy. **Scope 3:** Indirect emissions across the value chain, including suppliers and product use. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a structured, standardised method (DIN EN ISO 14040/14044) for evaluating a product’s or building’s environmental impact across its entire lifecycle from raw materials to disposal.   In Germany, LCA is becoming a legal requirement under the Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz (GModG). Therfore lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reporting for buildings becomes mandatory from 2028 (§7), and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) which supply the underlying material-level data for these assessments are becoming a mandatory input alongside it.  ## Circular construction & manufacturing Circular thinking – reusing materials, designing for disassembly, minimising waste – applies as much to construction as it does to manufacturing. We help clients in both industries apply circular principles in practice, and offer in-depth guides for each: - Circular Future in Construction – guide - Circular Future in Manufacturing – guide ![content-esg-material](https://auxalia.com/hubfs/auxalia/images/splits/content-esg-material.jpg) ## Our Sustainability solutions A software portfolio covering lifecycle assessment, circularity and materials data for both construction and manufacturing projects:  ![img-Software-Partner\_One-Click-LCA](https://auxalia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/auxalia/images/products/software_partner/img-Software-Partner_One-Click-LCA.png?width=640&height=320&name=img-Software-Partner_One-Click-LCA.png) ### One Click LCA Cloud software for calculating life cycle assessments from BIM models ![logo-circularlca](https://auxalia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-circularlca.jpg?width=640&height=320&name=logo-circularlca.jpg) ### CircularLCA Model-based life cycle assessment based on structured BIM data ![img-Software-auxalia\_RevitParameterTool](https://auxalia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/auxalia/images/products/software_auxalia/img-Software-auxalia_RevitParameterTool.png?width=640&height=320&name=img-Software-auxalia_RevitParameterTool.png) ### Revit ParameterTool Tool for easily enriching component parameters in a Revit building model ![autodesk-Info-360-Insight](https://auxalia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/autodesk-Info-360-Insight.jpg?width=640&height=320&name=autodesk-Info-360-Insight.jpg) ### Autodesk Insight Simulate and analyze the energy efficiency of buildings ![training-Autodesk-Forma](https://auxalia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/training-Autodesk-Forma.jpg?width=640&height=320&name=training-Autodesk-Forma.jpg) ### Autodesk Forma Solution for intelligent, cloud-based site planning ![img-Software-Partner\_SC-QNG](https://auxalia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/auxalia/images/products/software_partner/img-Software-Partner_SC-QNG.png?width=640&height=320&name=img-Software-Partner_SC-QNG.png) ### SOLAR-COMPUTER Life cycle assessment according to QNG (German Quality Seal for Sustainable Buildings) ![logo-madaster](https://auxalia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-madaster.jpg?width=640&height=320&name=logo-madaster.jpg) ### Madaster Online platform for the circular use of products and materials in the construction industry ### Moldflow Simulation software for optimizing plastic injection molding processes and part designs ## Our Sustainability services ![Individual consulting](https://auxalia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/auxalia/images/icons%20green/ax-icon-experts-green.png?width=80&height=80&name=ax-icon-experts-green.png) ### Individual consulting In a one- to two-hour  online-session, we’ll assess your current Sustainability maturity.

The team compared carpet variants by embodied carbon and chose the CO₂-optimised option despite the higher cost." Leonhard Weiss ” "For 300 Gray's Inn Road in London – a 1970s office retrofit – architecture studio Haptic preserved 88% of the existing structure to cut embodied carbon, and used One Click LCA to evaluate facade material options (fibreglass concrete, masonry, prefab concrete) under their own Haptic Green sustainability framework." Haptic ![content-esg-environmental-impact](https://auxalia.com/hubfs/auxalia/images/splits/content-esg-environmental-impact.jpg) ## Environmental impact across the lifecycle - Complete lifecycle analysis: assessing impact from raw material to end of life. - Material & resource efficiency: reducing consumption without compromising performance. - Compliance: meeting relevant standards and certifications. - Reporting & documentation: transparent, auditable sustainability data. ## Glossary ESG EU Taxonomy LCA / Life Cycle Assessment A framework for assessing the sustainability of a company or investment, built on three pillars: Environment, Social and Governance. The EU Taxonomy Regulation, a core component of the EU’s Sustainable Finance strategy, classifying which economic activities count as environmentally sustainable. A structured, standardised assessment (DIN EN ISO 14040/14044) of a product’s environmental impact across its full lifecycle. ## Our sustainability commitment Our commitment to sustainability is built on six pillars:  ### Anchored in our company strategy sustainability and ESG principles are embedded in our company goals and values. ### EcoVadis recognition Our EcoVadis rating confirms our commitment to embedding sustainable business practice into our quality and improvement processes guided by our value cycle: Design \> Make \> Improve. Our current rating result is the Commited Badge. ### Code of Conduct Our supplier code of conduct and our company's own code of conduct set out the standards we hold ourselves and our partners to. ### Goals & ambitions Our aim is to become the leading sustainability partner in our industries. Each year, we survey our customers on how they perceive our sustainability efforts; in the auxalia WESTCAM group's most recent survey, we scored 2.84 out of 5. ### Climate action Since 2025/26, together with the Loki Schmidt Foundation, we support the protection and restoration of North German moorland which stores more CO₂ than forest, and whose degradation currently accounts for around 7% of Germany’s emissions. This builds on our 2023/24 climate initiative, the auxalia forest, where we planted 4 square metres of forest for every person who took part in one of our training courses that year. ### Sustainability Report Each year, our Sustainability Report sets out our ESG activities, goals and progress in full, in German and English. ## Your first step towards a complete solution As CAD professionals, we are here to help.
