Climate Earth™ Announces a Comprehensive Redesign
and Exciting New Features for EPD Advantage Pro™,
the world’s first EPD Information Management System
Richmond, CA October 2024 – Climate Earth, the global leader in environmental product declarations (EPDs) for the concrete industry, launched a major update to EPD Advantage Pro™, its flagship EPD Information Management System, at NRMCA’s ConcreteWorks in Denver, CO, October 2024.
Comprehensive Redesign
The new design leverages a new, advanced cloud-based architecture to further address critical industry needs, including: security, scalability, performance, and IT integration. The redesign sets the stage for rapid development of new features and capabilities demanded by the growing need for low carbon concrete. Notably, Climate Earth is adding key new capabilities built on the new system architecture.
New Features
Tarantula Curve Mix Optimization
Climate Earth’s EPD Advantage Pro™ software now seamlessly integrates with the Tarantula Curve. Developed at Oklahoma State University under the guidance of Professor Tyler Ley, this curve enhances our software’s capabilities, ensuring that concrete producers stay at the forefront of low carbon innovation.
We are pleased to introduce the first fully digital Tarantula Curve Mix Optimizer—a powerful tool designed to assist concrete producers in optimizing mix designs for strength, workability, and sustainability. With a single click, producers can generate an optimal trial mix, meeting performance requirements, while minimizing environmental impacts.
Key Benefits:
- Efficiency: Streamlines the mix design process.
- Sustainability: Reduce carbon footprint without compromising constructibility.
Why it matters:
- Meeting low carbon standards and meeting all constructability requirements can be challenging and time consuming. The on-line Tarantula Curve Mix Optimizer will accelerate and simplify the process of developing a trial mix design.
- The draft EPD and the integrated concrete design report enables sharing of the optimized mix design with customers and the lab without publishing an EPD.
- The saved draft EPD can be published at any time with a single click.
ACI 323: Low-Carbon Concrete Code
We are pleased to announce that ACI Code 323, the groundbreaking low-carbon concrete standard, has now entered the digital realm as an integral part of Climate earth’s EPD Advantage Pro, the first EPD information management system (EPD-IMS). Through our Advantage Pro platform, concrete producers can now quickly analyze and report on ACI Code 323 low carbon concrete compliance.
Key Benefits:
- Immediate Compliance Demonstration:
EPD Advantage Pro empowers producers to swiftly showcase compliance with major benchmarks including NRMCA, CalGreen and the New York State GWP limits. - Efficiency:
The integration of ACI Code 323 streamlines the process. No more manual calculations or paperwork. Producers can measure the weighted average Global Warming Potential (GWP) for any project in mere minutes. - Visual Insights: Our high-quality graphic reports the weighted average GWP for the project and
illustrates each mix’s performance against the specified standard. Concrete sustainability metrics
come to life, making informed decisions a breeze.
Why It Matters:
- ACI 323 is a fundamental stepping stone toward reducing the concrete industry’s environmental
footprint, shifting the focus from individual mixes to whole project impacts. - By integrating it into EPD Advantage Pro™, we’re advancing and simplifying sustainability practices
across North America.
