Compare materials with project-specific transport emissions

In Iceland, a “green” material isn’t truly green until it survives the freight here. If you are still manually hunting for EPDs and trying to guess the carbon impact of shipping to Sundahöfn, you are losing billable hours and risking HMS (Húsnæðis- og mannvirkjastofnun) rejection.

Reduzer is built to solve this specific workflow: find the right data, put it into the project context and make good decisions.

  • Get instant access to a large database: Reduzer provides a large database of verified Icelandic and international EPDs as well as HMS reference values, which is accessible instantly. Then you can stop asking suppliers for EPDs.

  • Project-specific transport emissions: Reduzer calculates the specific carbon emissions of getting materials to Iceland (A4 emissions), giving you an accurate way of comparing materials within your project. Often it’s a big advantage to source locally.

  • Apple-to-apple comparison according to HMS: Reduzer automatically converts EPDs across multiple functional units, with emissions values according to the HMS standard. It will make it easier to make good decisions, based on apple-to-apple comparisons.

Why start today?

Every hour you spend manually looking up carbon values is an hour you aren’t designing or building. Find the most carbon-friendly building methods and products in minutes, and discuss them in the next stakeholder meeting. Join the 100+ Nordic professionals already using Reduzer and spend your time on good decisions, not data gathering.
