As a designer, are you reporting carbon emissions OR actually having impact?

If your workflow relies on Excel or export/import functions, you are reporting. By the time that data becomes usable, too many irreversible decisions have already been made. Designers want to have impact, but these tools weren’t built for that.

By the time LCA starts, structure is locked, materials are chosen, and budgets are tight. So we end up measuring the outcome instead of influencing it. There is a clear gap between reporting and impact.

Carbon and cost performance need to be visible early and live within design, while decisions are still fluid.

Nezo addresses this by making measurement and reporting a passive task within your workflow. Reporting is handled, but more importantly, you can rapidly analyse alternatives without redesign, directly inside your existing workflow. That’s what bridges the gap to real impact.

Work live, not through disconnected workflows that disrupt design or bog you down in spreadsheets.

Nezo gives you impact, not frustration.

Is your LCA solution is a compromise?

We keep hearing the same things from design teams:
– models don’t quite line up
– materials are hard to find or don’t match
– exports, re-imports, and workarounds everywhere
– Poor integration with existing design / BIM workflows
– Black box results
– and by the time they get those results… the design has already moved on.

But this is what they had to work with.

So LCA becomes a reporting exercise. Not a design tool.

That’s a big problem!

Nezo was built to remove that friction.
– works directly inside Revit, ArchiCAD and SketchUp
– no imports, no exports, no broken workflows
– your own materials, structured your way
– simple user interface
– traceable results
– results live while you’re designing

And the best for last. Any designer can be proficient in 2-3hrs.

So instead of chasing reports… you’re actually improving your design.

Simple, intuitive and...... not a compromise.

No Effort Carbon Measurement.

In most practices, carbon sits outside design, a broken workflow and a big effort. So not every project gets reported - valuable insight lost.

With nezo, the data sits directly inside your own materials library in Revit, Archicad or SketchUp.

As you design, every material already carries cost, carbon, weight and, where needed, thermal performance. It’s just there, updating as you go.

The dashboard gives you a clear read on performance straight away. When it comes time to pull a carbon report together, it’s not a major effort, it’s a few clicks.

Designers aren’t being asked to become specialists or learn a completely new process. They just design, and the data builds with them.

It becomes something the whole team is doing, without even thinking about it. Every designer, every project - impact follows.

With two hours training, you can put carbon reports out in minutes. Get a free trial here - https://lnkd.in/eh4yPTjJ

Carbon expert. Burden, risk… or both?

We’ve spoken to 1000's of architects over the last couple of years and we've seen a consistent pattern.

In smaller practices, one person becomes the go-to. It works for a while, the work is manual, repetitive and disconnected by a spreadsheet from design.

Burnout follows.

In larger practices, small teams get trained and a limited digital tool is rolled out. The knowledge builds… and then walks out the door. They're left with underused licenses and go back to training the next expert. Rinse, repeat and train their competitors.

They've created a dependency on a few people to carry something that should sit across the whole team.

That’s not just inefficient. It’s fragile. If carbon sits outside of design, owned by a specialist, impact can't scale.

Nezo fixes that.

Carbon, cost and other key metrics are measured as you design, inside your normal workflow. No gatekeepers, no long ramp-up, no key person expertise loss.

The whole team can use it, and it takes hours to get proficient - not weeks or months.

The power of your own data.

We hear the same story again and again. Design practices that tried to build their own material databases. It starts simple. Then it gets messy. Then it breaks. Not because they’re bad at it.

Because material data is harder to manage than people think.

That’s the problem Nezo actually solves.

Yes, we give you a head start - 10,000 materials and 40,000+ combinations, ready to go. But that’s not the value. The value is that your data doesn’t fall apart as it grows.

Every practice works differently. Different standards, different assemblies, different ways of thinking.

So instead of forcing you into a fixed library, Nezo lets you build your own:
- Add your own materials
- Create your own combinations
- Structure it your way

And crucially - still find, use, and trust it later. No spreadsheets. No duplication. No chaos.

What used to take hours and the overheating of grey matter… takes minutes. What used to become unmanageable… stays clean.

Measurement ≠ Instant Better Outcomes!

With nezo, Designers can model a building and get quick insight into the cost, carbon and weight performance of what they’ve proposed. Great validation but not really getting them better outcomes.

How do you know if that performance is any good?

CONTEXT.....

A single number on its own doesn’t give you that answer. Without context, it’s just a result with no benchmark and no direction.

What matters is comparison.

In nezo, users don’t just measure a design, they test it. Alternative materials, systems and approaches can be analysed rapidly, with their impact shown clearly at both a building level and a material level. The dashboard brings those comparisons together in a simple, readable way (looks great in proposals by the way).

That’s where better outcomes start to appear.

Instead of asking “what is my carbon value?”, you start asking “what happens if I change this?” and “how much better could this be?” - without the effort and time loss that normally associated.

Design performance only becomes meaningful when you can see it in context. Without that, you’re not really optimising, you’re making decisions without knowing what you’re leaving on the table.

Data isn’t the problem in carbon modelling.

Usability is.

You find it. Clean it. Then force it into a system that doesn’t match how you design. Even if it works once, maintaining it becomes another job.

Most databases are rigid but design isn’t.

With nezo, you start with a comprehensive database, then adapt it to how you actually work.

Build systems. Create materials. Keep everything usable over time.

That’s why there are nearly 40,000 material combinations in nezo and growing.

And why teams can compare options in minutes instead of rework cycles.

If your data can’t adapt, it creates friction.

If it can, it becomes part of the workflow.

NSW SEPP is starting to ask a different question.

Not just - “Show us your NABERS carbon measurement.”

But - “Show us what you considered to reduce carbon.”

That’s a problem for most teams.
Because design decisions happen in one place…and reporting happens somewhere else.

So when it’s time to prove your thinking, you’re rebuilding it after the fact.

In nezo, those decisions already exist.

Test a material.
See the impact instantly - Cost, carbon, weight - live.

And now with Performance Snapshots function, you can take that moment and drop it straight into your report.

No rework, no explaining numbers
No excel or power BI graphs
No disconnect.

Compliance is moving beyond outcomes.

It’s starting to look at how you got there and what have you learned.

The question is - are you capturing that… or trying to recreate it later?

Reporting carbon when your design is complete?

After the design. After the decisions. After its too late to have impact.

We’ve just flipped that.

NABERS, now inside the design itself.
- Not exported.
- Not re-modelled.
- Not handed off to a separate consultant.

Inside.

With nezo, NABERS embodied carbon reporting now runs live inside the architect’s existing workflow and model — no disruption, no duplicate inputs, no “spreadsheet of death.”

But more importantly…

It doesn’t just generate a report.

It feeds straight back into the project performance dashboard.
So instead of asking:

“Have we achieved our NABERS target rating?”

You’re asking - “What happens to NABERS if we change this wall, this structure, this material… right now?”

That’s a completely different behaviour.
