More Videos Added To Sustainability Calculator Series

Thirteen new recordings have been added to the newly renamed IGS Environmental Sustainability Calculator training series.

Joining four videos covering the basics of setting up an account, new guidance includes defining project parameters, visualizing and exporting data, and interpreting results. Additionally, several case study walkthroughs offer real-world examples to help users understand the tool's capabilities and outcomes.

The additional clips are:

• Outlining project scope
• Setting up a OneClick project
• Essential data for an environmental case study
• Setting general parameters
• Setting specific parameters
• Determining alternative materials
• Considerations for geosynthetics-related projects
• Visualizing results and exporting data
• Interpreting results
• Case study: project definition and life cycle inventory
• Case study: data input
• Case study: analysis of results
• Courses and help center

All recordings can be accessed via the IGS Sustainability web page, or the IGS YouTube channel.

Launched in fall 2023, the IGS Environmental Sustainability Calculator helps compare the sustainability benefits of using geosynthetics versus other materials. Using One Click LCA technology, the tool generates numerical values for the environmental impact of a design, such as the amount of CO2 that might be produced in a particular case, allowing users to design greener projects with demonstrable benefits.
