vyzn receives Minergie and SNBS certification

The construction sector is one of the largest contributors to CO2 emissions, with the construction phase becoming increasingly important compared to the operational phase. vyzn AG, an ETH spin-off, has now achieved a significant milestone in the construction and real estate industry: vyzn's Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) app has been recognized as the first web-based 3D/BIM-capable software for Minergie/-P/-A/-ECO and SNBS certification. This marks a strong commitment to environmentally friendly construction through the use of innovative technology.

‍

With this groundbreaking development, professionals in the construction industry—including planners, architects, sustainability consultants, and real estate developers—can now automatically analyze, optimize, and certify the entire life cycle of a building based on 3D building models. This includes greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and grey energy, from the construction phase through potential repurposing to demolition and disposal.

‍

Adrian Henke, CEO of vyzn AG, is pleased with the certification and adds: "It is crucial that the construction and real estate industry becomes more sustainable. The currently available tools are often limited, especially when planning is model-based. Our approach allows our clients to reduce GHG and grey energy more easily than ever before—thanks to our highly automated software."

‍

Representatives from Minergie and NNBS see vyzn's certification as a significant benefit for their labels.

‍

Christian Stünzi, Head of Certification, states: "Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in construction is a key aspect of certification. The accreditation of vyzn’s Life Cycle Assessment App as web-based 3D/BIM-capable software is therefore an important step. The software will simplify model-based planning and documentation. We congratulate vyzn on this milestone."

‍

Joe Luthiger, Managing Director of NNBS, adds: "Such developments make the integration of sustainability goals into construction projects significantly easier. They create a solid foundation for a holistic approach."

‍

Ecobau has developed the framework for the certification in a pilot project. vyzn AG intends to use this certification as the foundation for further product development. The next step, in particular, will focus on the Innosuisse-supported Circularity App.
