Athena Sustainable Materials Institute software

The Impact Estimator for Buildings gives architects, engineers and analysts access to advanced life cycle inventory data without requiring advanced skills.

Designers use the EcoCalculator for a quick snapshot of building footprint. This simple tool is equipped with pre-defined building assemblies that have already been assessed in the Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings.

The Athena Impact Estimator for Highways is a prototype LCA-based software package that measures environmental impact of roadway designs. The Athena team is developing a user-friendly LCA tool for pavement designers, now available for free in a demonstration beta version. This tool will meet a new and growing demand for infrastructure sustainability.
