Emidat is building a tool to clean up construction by automating environmental reporting
- Emidat has built a software platform for automating the generation of validated Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificates for the construction sector.
- EPDs require undertaking a product lifecycle assessment (LCA) to declare standardized info about the environmental impact of construction materials at each stage of their lifecycle.
- Emidat's platform could help manufacturers compete to produce more sustainable buildings materials, helping to shrink the carbon footprint of future builds as a byproduct of platform-enabled transparency.
- This startup company also uses AI to analyze data ingests so it can present information on industry benchmarks and to create emissions calculation projections.
- The cost per EPD is slashed dramatically. It can now take as little as a week per product at a much lower cost using Emit’s platform.
- Emidat’s platform also streamlines data collection by integrating with manufacturers’ systems via API and then uses those data unloads to automate the generation of EPD.
- Emidat's database of materials contains information on over 150,000 construction products spanning 13 product categories so far.
- Emidat's initial focus has been onboarding manufacturers of structural components where environmental impact is greatest such as cement/concrete, steel, windows, roofing, etc.
- Emidat is announcing a €4 million seed round, which it closed this summer, led by U.S. VC giant General Catalyst.
- Emidat's platform could fundamentally change the construction industry to compete and innovate in producing or using more sustainable products.
