Locus’ Sustainable Construction Software Aligns with New US EPA Label Program for Low Embodied Carbon Construction Materials

Locus Simplifies Reporting for Buy Clean Programs and Embodied Carbon Emissions

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., August 27, 2024 —Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, today announced that its Sustainable Construction application is compatible with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), including those that will be produced and enriched during Phase 1 of the US EPA labeling program that was announced earlier this month. The EPA program will enable purchasers to easily identify and procure verified low embodied carbon construction materials and cite the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of a single unit of the material, as recorded in the EPD. Construction contractors connect the EPDs for their selected materials, spanning multiple product categories such as steel, glass, concrete, asphalt, and discrete mixes, into Locus software, along with data pertaining to the quantity of each material that enters the construction site. Locus calculates the emissions across infinite EPDs and quantity-records to effectively track the environmental impact of building and transportation projects, and to easily demonstrate compliance with low carbon targets.  

“Our clients are accurate and credible in every environmental, health, safety, and sustainability pursuit, including clean construction,” said Wes Hawthorne, President of Locus. “Considering the magnitude of construction projects, especially those for government infrastructure, there may be big differences between the predicted emissions in the design phase, and the actual reporting that comes directly from tracking EPDs and verified material quantities.”   

The significance, volume, and quality of EPDs is expected to grow subsequent to the EPA labeling program. Locus Sustainable Construction software supports several API integrations, empowering contractors to source EPDs directly from the EC3 database or the EPA’s future EPD and labeling registry. The software also helps to “simplify the process for specifiers and contractors to track compliance with directives to procure and use these materials and products,” as outlined in the EPA announcement, and to demonstrate the cumulative impacts. Locus manages this data across individual infrastructure projects or a portfolio of development sites. 

“While the rollouts of the EPA label program will focus on A1 to A3 stages of a Life Cycle Assessment, Locus software is designed with flexibility to manage GHG and other EPD data from your choice of endpoints: Cradle to Gate, Cradle to Laid, and Cradle to Grave,” said Dorian Bailey, former Chief of Clean Construction for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the current Customer Success Director at Locus Technologies. “Net zero ambitions are generally limited to operational carbon, like a building’s energy use, so we are pleased to help A/E and Construction Contractors simplify the work of reducing embodied carbon as well.” 

Locus Sustainable Construction is one of several integrated applications available in Locus software. Other Locus offerings include EHS risk and compliance, waste management, water quality, incident management, ESG reporting, and robust environmental data management software. This collection of specialized tools enables clients to manage every facet of sustainable construction and environmental data in one place.

Southern California public works department optimizes the management of water quality and more with Locus software.

This municipality is in a mountainous region of Southern California, several miles from the coastline. Its mediterranean climate, nature preserves and wetlands, and corporate business parks have helped it attract close to 130,000 full-time residents. A buying committee spanning environmental compliance analysts and specialists, water quality managers, and GIS analysts sought a cloud-based solution to simplify data collection, tracking, and compliance work related to the city’s drinking water, stormwater, reservoir data, and wastewater.

Challenge

The Environmental Division of this city’s Public Works Department is a lean operation with diverse responsibilities. The state’s water supply is at risk due to drought and climate change, and the water they do have is vulnerable to urban/stormwater runoff and wastewater. The team must track water quality and demonstrate compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), and the California Department of Health Services (DHS). With scientists working in the field and compliance personnel in the office, they needed a better way to collect and manage data pertaining to their work.

Solution

After extensive market research, Locus Technologies and two other software companies were shortlisted and invited to participate in a formal RFP process. One product was immediately ruled out because it only excelled with one niche requirement. The city conducted reference checks and deeper analysis of product functionality. This research revealed that the third product had limited practical experience and configurability. In contrast, the city valued Locus’ dual solution for environmental information management and EHS compliance, plus the company’s proven experience with water utilities and incident management. Locus successfully completed a pilot implementation for the city in 2022, followed by a complete roll-out in 2023

Results

This relatively small municipality needed a software product that was both robust to handle its critical water data and compliance, and flexible to meet the varied needs of compliance personnel, managers, GIS analysts, policy makers, and the public. They also required a partner that had relevant experience, a solid track record, the ability to scale to support broader sustainability initiatives, and experts ready to listen and problem solve. Locus proved to be the only company that could meet all requirements, and ultimately help the city’s environmental department become more efficient and better managed.

Locus remains independent—and independently verified.”

By adhering to the stringent requirements of System and Organization Controls (SOC) audits, Locus demonstrates its commitment to protecting sensitive customer data against cyber threats and operational failures. This builds trust with customers, assuring them that their data is secure and managed according to the highest industry standards and helps Locus comply with various regulatory requirements.

“Locus prides itself on helping customers be accurate and credible in their environmental, health, and safety monitoring and reporting. This is particularly true for ESG reporting where greenwashing is clouding the credibility of reporting. Earning current third-party validation of our own processes is an important way to demonstrate our credibility in the market,” continued Duplan.

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 1 is an examination of controls at a service organization that are likely to be relevant to user entities’ internal control over financial reporting; the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, financials, procedures, and operations have been formally reviewed.

“Congratulations to Locus Technologies for completing their SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, a widely recognized signal of trust and security,” said Steve Simmons, COO of A-LIGN. “It’s great to work with organizations like Locus who understand the value of expertise in driving an efficient audit and the importance of a high-quality final report.”

Honeywell improves data quality and more with Locus Technologies

Challenge

Honeywell, a Fortune 500 diversified technology and manufacturing leader, needed an enterprise remediation data management system. They needed a system that can protect and preserve the integrity and quality of their substantial investment in generating site remediation data, have it available for future use, and assure business partners that legacy data is of reliable quality. Their existing data resided in stand-alone consultant systems, spreadsheets and paper records that was not readily available and shared within the company.

Solution

Honeywell implemented Locus EIM to improve their environmental data management process for remediation locations throughout the U.S. and in selected overseas locations. An EIM site was set up for all active projects. Analytical and technical data generated in the course of on-going site activities were entered into EIM. All mission-critical legacy data residing in stand-alone consultant systems were also migrated into EIM. Data management in conformance with Honeywell SOPs, including adherence to valid value and electronic data delivery requirements, were implement and required of subcontract vendors and laboratories.

Honeywell applied the rigorous and well-documented Six Sigma quality-improvement approach to the complex, highly heterogeneous, and mission-critical process of remedial site environmental data management. The primary focus was to apply both qualitative and quantitative Six Sigma methods to improve electronic management of analytical laboratory data generated for environmental remediation and long-term monitoring programs. The process includes electronic data delivery, data QA/QC checking, data verification, data validation, database administration, regulatory agency reporting and linkage to spatial information, and real-time geographical information systems.

Results

Results of the analysis identified that automated, centralized web-based software tools delivered through a Software as a Service (SaaS) model are optimal to improve the process resulting in cost reductions, while simultaneously improving data quality and long-term data usability and perseverance.

A pilot project quantified cycle time and cost improvements of 50% and 65%, respectively. Using EIM, Honeywell achieved a sea change in terms of data quality, environmental risk reduction, and overall process cost reduction.

One of the smartest decisions I made during my time at Honeywell was to use Locus Technologies to help us with the complex issues of data management across multiple sites in our portfolio. Locus understood the “big picture” and all the component parts that had to addressed in order to provide real-time data and information for informed business decisions.

Chevron streamlines data input and reporting with Locus EIM

Challenge

Chevron, one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies, had various remediation sites spread out across multiple suppliers throughout the United States, and had no way of determining where their environmental data was or what condition it was in. Chevron realized they did not truly own the data that they paid for during remediation projects. Charges were incurred each time sites were transferred between consultants, and furthermore, the quality and consistency of the data was not being managed properly. They were in need of a single repository to manage their data, unify reporting and streamline the process of generating data tables.

Solution

Chevron evaluated many software applications to help identify a solution that would increase the quality of data while consolidating it into one central repository. Locus’ EIM was chosen due to its robust capabilities for managing environmental data. Data were migrated to EIM starting in 2003, suppliers were trained, and labs were instructed to load all new data to EIM.

The Chevron Governance Team also evaluated the formatted reporting options from EIM and identified any potential modifications to the existing functionality. Locus collected specifications and implemented updates to the formatted reporting tool, and then trained suppliers on how to use it. Chevron then made it a requirement that all data tables be generated from EIM and also set up tracking mechanisms to determine how often the Formatted Reports Module was being used and by who.

Results

Chevron now has all data in a central data repository that is available on the web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Data input and reporting is streamlined and data quality and consistency can be managed with ease. Chevron also realized additional unexpected benefits from reporting and cross site data mining. The benefits of using Locus’ cloud-based software continue to be realized by the team as Chevron continues to manage their environmental remediation data in EIM.
