Athena latest wblca tool now in beta testing

The Athena Institute has been working for the past few years on an advanced web app for whole-building LCA. This is a next-generation tool for a sustainability landscape that has changed since we first launched our Impact Estimator for Buildings way back in 2002.

The software, “Athena Building LCA,” is now available for beta testing. Feedback will be much appreciated as we fine-tune the app for public release early in 2026.

Simply click the link above and create an account (or log in if you already have one). Once on the site, you will find demo videos, a sample project, and page-specific help to get you started. Report bugs or give us comments on the Support page. Be patient with the software if it is slow – it’s a work in progress.
