What Nooco does

Nooco is a Paris-based SaaS company that operates a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) platform for the construction sector. Founded in 2020–2021, the company provides certified carbon footprint calculations and RE2020 compliance tooling for contractors, designers, builders, installers, asset owners, and building product manufacturers. The platform addresses a regulatory need in France, where systematic LCA measurement is mandated for new construction, by replacing slow Excel-based workflows with an AI-assisted tool that processes customer quotes and cost exports into structured LCA outputs roughly five times faster than legacy methods.

The underlying technology stack combines an in-house calculation engine with an AI layer built on HuggingFace foundations and fine-tuned on approximately 2,833 hours of construction-trade vocabulary. The platform ingests customer quotes and costing-software exports in multiple formats, recognizes product references against the INIES environmental database (with 2,660+ new data sheets added), and produces both regulatory deliverables and design-variant comparisons. Product modules are segmented by buyer type (contractors, builders, asset owners, manufacturers) and supplemented by 2024-era features including a Project Simulator, Custom Library, Optimization Potential tool, and an API for direct integration with costing software. The platform is also offered as a manufacturer-facing product, with tiered Sales, Marketing, and Partner packs.

Nooco generates revenue through annual SaaS subscriptions across four buyer segments and three manufacturer tiers. The go-to-market combines a self-service product experience with enterprise field sales anchored on demo requests and dedicated customer training. Following its 2024 acquisition by Deepki, the global ESG platform for real estate, Nooco operates as a Deepki subsidiary while retaining its own brand identity, positioning the combined entity to cover both embedded and operational carbon across the full building life cycle.

Core offering

Nooco operates a SaaS-based Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) platform that uses proprietary AI to automatically recognize quotation software exports and calculate the carbon footprint of construction projects. The platform delivers certified LCA results, RE2020 regulatory deliverables, and environmental compliance tools for contractors, engineering firms, asset owners, and building product manufacturers. Its proprietary calculation engine processes quotes 5x faster than traditional tools and integrates with European carbon databases such as INIES.

Product overview

Nooco is a SaaS-based Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software platform designed for the construction and building sector. The core Nooco Platform serves as the unified product, with four specialized modules targeting different customer segments: Contractors and Designers Solution (for ecodesign and project monitoring), Builders and Installers Solution (for operational carbon calculations), Asset Owners and Operators Solution (for portfolio carbon trajectory monitoring), and Manufacturers Solution (for market analysis and product valorization). Additional features include Project Simulator (for preliminary assessments), Custom Library (for managing company-specific data), Automatic Contributor List Import (for streamlined data import), Optimization Potential (for identifying improvement levers), and API Interface (for costing tool connectivity). The platform integrates with INIES database and BIMOffice, and was acquired by Deepki in 2024 to expand its building life cycle analysis capabilities.

Emerging players

• Madaster: Madaster is a material passport and circularity platform that registers products and components in buildings to support LCA and end-of-life recovery. It overlaps with Nooco on construction product data and asset-level environmental reporting for European markets.
• 2050 Materials: 2050 Materials provides a curated product database and tools for low-carbon specification in construction projects, including the Materialenie API. It is comparable to Nooco's Manufacturer Pack functionality — enabling specifiers to find and compare low-carbon building products.

Broad incumbents

• Persefoni: Persefoni is an AI-enabled Climate Management and Accounting Platform serving large enterprises with carbon accounting and decarbonization workflows. It is a broad-incumbent comparable to Nooco's enterprise carbon footprint use cases but at the corporate level.
• Greenly: Greenly is a carbon accounting platform with strong traction among SMB and mid-market European companies, helping them measure and reduce their carbon footprint. It is comparable as a French/European carbon SaaS competing for the same ESG budgets as Nooco's enterprise customers.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise carbon accounting platform that helps companies measure, report, and reduce emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3. While it operates at the corporate rather than building level, it overlaps with Nooco on enterprise-grade carbon reporting workflows and competes for ESG budget.
• Deepki: Deepki is Nooco's parent company and a global leader in ESG software for the real estate sector, focused on operational carbon and energy performance. It is comparable as the broader operating-carbon platform into which Nooco's embedded-carbon module is integrated, and serves the same French and European real estate customer base.
• Sweep: Sweep is a carbon management platform for enterprises, with strong capabilities in Scope 3 emissions and supplier engagement. It is comparable to Nooco as a horizontal carbon platform, with overlap on manufacturer/supplier environmental data and ESG reporting.

Direct peers

• Tally (Autodesk): Tally is a Revit-integrated LCA plugin from Autodesk that enables architects to calculate whole-building environmental impacts inside their BIM environment. It is a direct competitor to Nooco's contractor and designer module, with the strategic advantage of native BIM workflow integration.
• One Click LCA: One Click LCA is the global market-leading Life Cycle Assessment software for the construction sector, supporting more than 100 LCA methods and regulations across 100+ countries. It is Nooco's most direct global competitor, addressing the same ecodesign and embodied carbon use cases at much larger scale.
• EC3 (Building Transparency): EC3 (Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator) is a free, open-access tool that lets building professionals compare embodied carbon of construction materials using EPDs. It directly competes with Nooco's product-database-driven LCA workflow, particularly for contractors seeking low-cost benchmarking.
