Backhans & Ed was established in 2010 and is a small but forward-thinking architectural firm located in Stockholm. They typically design homes, both small and large, for one or more families. 'As the requirements for our carbon emissions become stricter, our responsibility also becomes clearer.' Lars emphasizes that, for now, they are ahead of the legislation, but he has no doubt about the direction this is heading.
"As architects, we are involved in all projects from an early stage. This gives us a unique opportunity to make active environmental choices right from the start. In other words, we set the tone for the direction we take, but if we are to hold this position with credibility, we can’t just believe—we must know what we are doing!"
And that’s why Lars and his colleagues have adopted Anavitor LCA. The software has a two-way integration with Archicad, making it seamless in calculating the entire life cycle of the homes Backhans & Ed design.
