Carbon calculations, and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) in general, always require a methodology to be specified. A scheme in Reduzer automatically defines that methodology. A scheme can be be a predefined set of requirements, such as BREEAM, DGNB, LEED, or national building code requirements. All common schemes are readily available in Reduzer, so you don't need to worry about the details.
All calculations shown in Reduzer, both in projects and in the libraries, are always according to the currently selected scheme. A key benefit of Reduzer is that you can easily and quickly switch between schemes, at any time, in the scheme menu. Results will automatically be recalculated.
Details
You can also create custom schemes, with custom system boundaries, calculation methods, and benchmarks. (insert link to separate page in User Guide explaining everything about custom schemes)
Where can schemes be found in Reduzer?
Where
lajd. Can we use this structure on most pages:
- Page title and introduction
- Where can X be found in Reduzer?
- How to use X
Schemes can be found in one most pages in Reduzer. At least one scheme must be selected when creating a new project in the + Add new project dialog. This can later be changed in the Edit project dialog.
When a project is opened, you will see the Scheme menu on the top right.
The same Scheme menu can be found in all libraries, also on the top right.

Scheme constituents
