Tailor Nulla: Elevating It to Your Organisation’s Intellectual Property

250630_1

In embodied carbon assessment, proprietary methodologies and in house data define competitive edge. Nulla isn’t just another off the shelf calculator—it becomes your own intellectual property (IP). By fully integrating your organisation’s frameworks, assumptions and conversion factors, Nulla transforms into a bespoke carbon assessment copilot, uniquely trained on your workflows and standards.

1. Integrating Your Organisation’s Framework

· Upload Your Own Protocols

Nulla supports the most common industry standards but also allows for self-uploaded LCA protocols. Simply map the measurement requirement in your framework, and Nulla will apply your specific boundary conditions throughout the assessment.

· Assumption Library

Create, edit or version assumptions around material breakdowns, calculation methods and default building components. Nulla’s assumption library lets you tag each assumption to a framework stage or material class, ensuring consistency across multiple projects.

· Conversion Factors Database

Import your preferred unit conversion factors, whether they’re locally derived from your in house studies or drawn from manufacturers' technical reports. Nulla automatically reconciles different units and applies your chosen factors in real time.

2. Workflow Customisation: Your Exclusive Advantage

· Brand Consistency

Deliver reports that carry your consulting firm’s methodology, not generic defaults, reinforcing your expertise in client engagements.

· Reduced Manual Work

Eliminate repetitive data entry tasks. Once your framework and factors are set up, Nulla automatically applies them across dozens of materials and stages, unchaining you to focus on interpretation, insights and client communication.

· Audit Ready Transparency

Every calculation step is logged, with clear references to your custom inputs. Auditors and clients can trace precisely which assumption or factor underpins each result, boosting confidence and reducing queries.

3. Redefining the Carbon Assessment Workflow

· From Data Prep to Insight

Traditional workflows often stall at data gathering. With Nulla’s import and mapping functions, data prep becomes a one time setup rather than a recurring bottleneck, so your team moves faster to scenario analysis and strategic recommendations.

· Collaborative Copilot

Nulla’s collaborative workspace enables multiple consultants to work on the same model, comment on assumptions and lock down final datasets. No more siloed spreadsheets or version control headaches.

4. Nulla as Your Ultimate Co-Pilot

· Intelligent, Organisation-Specific Guidance

As you work, Nulla flags deviations against your proprietary thresholds and suggests adjustments based on your historical data—learning continuously from your firm’s usage.

· An Asset That Grows with You

Every project you run further trains Nulla on your IP, making it smarter, faster and more aligned to your evolving methodologies.


When tailored with your own frameworks, assumptions and conversion factors, Nulla ceases to be a generic tool—it becomes a living extension of your IP and workflows. Highly customisable and trained specifically for your organisation, Nulla is the ultimate assistant, driving efficiency, consistency and strategic insight in every embodied carbon assessment. Embrace Nulla as your bespoke copilot, and turn your carbon assessment workflow into a true competitive advantage.

Embodied Carbon Policy in Australian Building Sector: Where We Stand and What’s Next

Australia’s built environment is responsible for nearly one-third of the nation’s carbon emissions, with embodied carbon (emissions from materials and construction) contributing a growing share. While operational energy is increasingly regulated, embodied emissions have only recently begun to receive policy attention. This article provides an overview of where Australia stands at both federal and state levels, how our efforts compare globally, and how embodied carbon fits within Australia’s broader net zero transition strategy.
