Ardhi Knowledge Graph Software can identify and validate construction materials with a lower carbon footprint that can be used to replace concrete and steel
About
Ardhi is a software services company that works with construction and manufacturing firms to automatically generate twelve leading environmental metrics into a single aggregated Environmental Cost Impact (ECI) indicator for any project or product. Designers and engineers use an intuitive knowledge graph to model alternatives (processes, materials, supply chains, and energy sources) in order to reduce environmental impact and track and meet net zero goals. This results in empirical evidence validated by experts, on how traditional materials can be replaced by sustainable alternatives which perform to the same technical level.
Key Benefits
The key benefits are that construction companies can accurately model current materials and compare them with more sustainable alternatives . This modelling can be used across scopes 1,2 and 3 in an LCA analysis and will allow accurate evidenced based reporting. The software will also identify the presence of unfriendly materials/processes, and supply chains and identify hidden relationships. The analysis will go down to the molecular level of the chemicals used in a material giving decision makers maximum levels of confidence that their material choices are optimal from an environmental viewpoint.
Applications
The software may be used in many different verticals. However it is particularly suited to the construction industry where it can be used to evaluate existing conventional materials (cement and steel) against alternative more sustainable options.It can demonstrate potent entail reductions in carbon emission throughout the life of large infrastructure projects.
