LCAx - 2024 Roadmap 🚀
LCAx is headed for a big 2024! I'm excited to share LCAx's roadmap for this year.

3 Solutions for a Cloud Native BIM Workflow
Integrating BIM with cloud technology will revolutionize the construction industry.
Driving Open Source in AEC
The open source movement comes from the software world, but has slowly made is way into AEC. The increasing digitization in the industry, but also the slow tempo of that digitization, have created a platform for open source in the industry.
The Open Source Philosophy behind LCAx
I find it hard to believe that there is a "one-size-fits-all" LCA solution.I believe much more in an array of solutions that covers different aspects, regions and needs that people have. That is why LCAx is created as an exchange format.
Continuous Integration Pipelines for BIM Data
Okay, so you have a "cloud" service with an API, where you can access all your BIM data and that data can be sync'ed with your 3D models. The BIM models are unlocked, now you need to reap the benefits.
The Tech to Unlock BIM Data
What technology is required to unlock BIM data? Fundamentally, it requires that you can access all your 3D models, their objects and properties programmatically i.e. through a web API.
