Revalu aims to improve access to materials data for architects
The Revalu platform uses one million data points and an AI-powered accuracy checker to enable architects to compare the environmental impacts of different building materials.
Founded by data scientists in Denmark and launched earlier this year, Revalu aims to cater to both large and small architecture practices, with three different ways to engage with its data platform.
First, there is the material cloud, which gathers over one million data points related to the environmental impact of different materials. This back-end Revalu product has no visual user interface; instead, it is offered to architecture firms to plug into their own software via an application programming interface (API).

The material cloud provides a mapped and regularly updated dataset so that when architects create designs using their own software, they can see accurate numbers related to the projects' environmental impacts.
It saves firms from the laborious task of sourcing and comparing these scattered data points themselves, and provides what Revalu says is the most comprehensive dataset out there.
"I think by far we are the largest platform out there in terms of understanding all kinds of environmental indicators and also going beyond carbon," Revalu co-founder ...
