Material Database: The Heart of Revalu
The material database is the beating heart of the platform. It offers the largest environmental dataset for building materials in Europe, making it an indispensable resource for architects and planners. By providing detailed environmental profiles early in the design process, it empowers users to make choices that reduce carbon footprints and align with evolving regulations. This database isn’t static — it’s constantly enriched with new materials and manufacturers, keeping the information fresh and relevant.
Collections: Curated for Innovation and Sustainability
Collections are more than just lists — they’re carefully curated libraries of innovative materials. These public collections are crafted in collaboration with industry leaders who prioritize sustainability. Users can also create private collections tailored to their specific projects, making it easier to manage and share material options within teams. This feature helps streamline decision-making and ensures everyone is on the same page when it comes to sustainable choices.
Revalu Connect: Seamless Integration
One of the standout features is Revalu Connect, a plug-in designed to bring material data right into your existing tools. No more switching between platforms or juggling spreadsheets. This integration enhances transparency and allows users to compare environmental and cost metrics side by side, making sustainable decisions not just easier but smarter. It’s about working smarter, not harder, to meet climate goals.
