Carbon Designer update for Expert license users

Expert license users who work with Carbon Designer can now choose from their own private construction library to be used in Carbon Designer structures. This allows expanding the standard library and using customized, best-practise based structures in early design optimization. 
Carbon Designer now allows for private constructions to be used.
To use private constructions in Carbon Designer, both One Click LCA Expert and Carbon Designer licenses are required. Private constructions are created under the Company account, and they can be accessed by all users who are added to the Company account. Further adjusting layer thicknesses is also possible for all private constructions where layers are expressed as area and thickness.
Only constructions that are classified as qualifying (e.g. CML or TRACI) can be used. Construction has to be defined in the same unit as the relevant construction element in Carbon Designer to be usable.

Users who create user accounts using the predefined company account email address format are proposed to join the company account automatically, but this has to be confirmed by a company account main user.

Circular economy tool 

The Circular economy tool now generates automatically local transport distance-based carbon emissions data. This is required by HQE Performance Economie Circulaire. Calculation happens using the data inputted in an associated LCA tool (if one is used), otherwise using selected default distances.
