Tally for Revit helps you conduct whole-building LCA during design, compare design options and select building materials based on its environmental impact. With whole-building LCA you can assess the embodied environmental impact of your entire building, and benchmark your impact throughout design. Analyze and compare LCA impacts and ingredients of materials and assemblies, including information from manufacturer EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations). You can define relationships between BIM elements in a Revit model and construction materials from the Tally database. These relationships are used to quantify environmental impacts across several categories, such as embodied energy and GWP (global warming potential).
Meet sustainability goals. Tally for Revit automatically extracts material data from Revit models and calculates impacts like embodied carbon, transportation CO₂ emissions, and building lifespan. It supports various Revit categories, including walls, floors, roofs, structural elements, and windows, and is compatible with linked models. Tally also reports environmental impacts per the TRACI methodology (EPA standard) and covers cradle-to-grave impacts from manufacturing to end-of-life. It helps meet LEED v4 requirements, enabling users to conduct LEED-compliant assessments and earn credits for building life-cycle impact reduction.
Tally integration. Tally integrates directly into Revit allowing users to automatically extract data from modeled elements, analyze environmental impacts, and generate reports in Revit, making it easy to incorporate LCA into the design workflow. You can use Tally for Revit together with EC3 tool. Typical workflow is to use Tally in the design phase and EC3 tool in the construction phase.
Tally plans. Tally offers a 10-day free trial of the current 2024 version, available for download from the Autodesk App Store. Users can purchase a license after the trial period. The Commercial License includes two options: a Basic License and a Premium License, both with floating licenses that last one year from the purchase date. Educational Licenses are also available for non-commercial use upon request.
Summary. Tally for Revit enables whole-building LCA within the Revit environment, allowing designers to evaluate and compare the environmental impacts of materials and assemblies based on manufacturer EPDs. With automated data extraction, Tally calculates embodied carbon, transportation CO₂ emissions, and other impacts, supporting LEED v4 compliance and TRACI methodology. It integrates directly into Revit, covering various categories (walls, floors, roofs, etc.) and is compatible with linked models.
Typical workflow
- Conduct an assessment: Perform either a full-building analysis, breaking down environmental impacts by Revit category, family type, CSI Division, and material, or compare the impacts of different design options.
- Define materials: Use Tally’s project browser to list elements within the scope of assessment, define materials, and track updates to quantities as the Revit model changes.
- Report: Generate a summary report on environmental impacts across TRACI and Cumulative Energy Demand categories, segmented by life cycle stage, Revit category, and CSI Division, allowing for in-depth analysis and material refinement.
