Release Notes – eTool and RapidLCA Software

Software release notes for eTool and RapidLCA.

V5.42.0 – 1 July 2026

What’s New
  • Library EPD Organisation Column: To improve visibility and streamline EPD management, we have added a new Organisation column within the library EPD view. This makes it easier to track and sort EPDs tied to specific organisations.
  • Template CSV Import Improvements: CSV template import process refined to make it smarter and more accurate. Archived templates are now automatically excluded from the “Previously Selected Matches” list, ensuring you only see relevant, active data.
  • Currency & Costing Adjustments: Scale Costs currency dropdown has been updated to reflect your project’s financial indicator selections, ensuring easier alignment between your project settings and cost scaling.
Bug Fixes
  • Template CSV Import Fix: Resolved a bug where importing design templates occasionally produced incorrect costs for deep structures (greater than 2 layers).
  • Transport Loss Calculation Fix: Fixed a minor calculation error affecting the dataset and EPD layers regarding transport loss. Note: the impact of this bug was minimal, as the transport loss value is set to 0 by default.
  • Module D1 Calculation Adjustment: For projects using the Dataset Layer (other than ‘Default LCI Source’), pending updates to recycled content data from external providers, specific closed-loop recycling calculations for Module D1 have been temporarily excluded as a precaution against overstating recycling benefits.

  • Library Template Treelist: Added a new tree list view in library templates for easier grouping and filtering.
  • New Dataset Layer: Released NABERS and East West Rail.
  • Material Circularity Calculation: Use EPD mass composition to calculate MCI.
  • Transport Impact Excel Report: All impact reports can now be segregated by transport (Note: currently available only for select organisations)
Bug Fixes
  • LCA Report: Fixed an issue affecting the display of the time series chart.
  • Report Title: Fixed a bug where the report title was failing to set properly during report generation.
  • Dashboard: Deprioritised GHG chart.
  • Library Template Clone: Fixed an issue where an incorrect name was assigned to nested template clones.
  • Design Template Import: Excluded archived templates from the selection.

V5.38.0 – 13 December 2025

eTool

What’s New
  • EPD Library Redesign: We have launched a brand new user interface for the EPD Library, featuring advanced grouping, filtering, and sorting capabilities. Refer to this post for how to use the new library view.
  • Custom EPD Tagging: You can now add custom tags to EPDs within the materials library. This allows you to quickly identify, search, and filter specific EPDs to speed up your workflow. Refer to this Tags post for more info.
  • New Dataset Layer: Accessible via the Project Page, this new feature enables integration with the current LCI Source. It also includes a Scope Declaration Report to clearly capture and visualise in-scope versus out-of-scope items. Refer to this support post for more information: Layers
Improvements
  • Certification Locking: To ensure data integrity, Calculation Standards and Template Uploads are now locked automatically after a project receives Certification.
  • Module Calculators: Updated the B2/B3 module calculator for +A2 and RICS standards.
  • Login Screen: Removed “eTool Rebrand” messaging for a cleaner login experience.
Bug Fixes
  • Project Cloning Ownership: Fixed an issue where cloning a non-organisation project assigned to the user performing the action. The cloned project is now correctly retained the original owner.
  • EPD Attachment Safety: Resolved a bug where EPD attachment files were deleted immediately upon removal, even if the user had not yet saved the change. Files are now only removed upon saving.

RapidLCA

Improvements
  • Attribute Filtering: Filter RapidLCA attributes based on their LCI Group, making it easier to navigate large datasets.
Bug Fixes
  • Calculation Hang: Resolved an issue where the application would get stuck in a “calculating” state if a template was unavailable for the selected attribute.
  • LCA Report Loading: Fixed a bug that prevented the LCA Report from generating if a design contained non-activated recommendations with no associated scenarios.

V5.37.0 – 31 May 2025

eTool

  • Improvements to Database Architecture to Unify EPD Elements
    Our team has performed some high-level database wizardry to change how eTool manages EPDs. This upgrade aligns EPDs with our other library elements and sets the stage for some exciting new features that will help users transparently gap-fill EPDs. Watch this space for more!
  • Library Links in EPDs
    EPDs within Designs will now show a link back to their Library reference on the “Details” tab
  • Update to B1 Impact Coefficient Calculation
    We’ve updated the calculation method for B1 Impact Coefficient values for refrigeration profiles in version 20. Earlier versions will continue to use the existing method to ensure full backward compatibility.
  • Improvements to Import Template Matching
    Import Template Matching has been made case-insensitive. Template matching will now ignore capitalisation differences, resulting in a more reliable import experience.
  • Improvements to Clone Banner
    Improvements have been made to the clone banner UI at the Project and Structure levels to clearly show when a design cloning operation is still running or has failed a bulk operation, reducing user confusion.
  • Improved Import Progress Labelling
    The status of Design Imports has been improved to clearly indicate that files have passed format checks prior to being fully processed, reducing confusion about data import completion.
  • Bug Fix – Users could not Unarchive an EPD
    Users can now edit any EPDs that they’ve created even after they’ve been archived.
  • Bug Fix – Template Import Correction
    Template Import (Auto) now prevents matching with incompatible LCI Groups
  • Bug Fix – Design Archiving
    A bug preventing users from archiving certified designs has been corrected.
  • Bug Fix – Cloning Now Copies Attachments
    Design cloning now copies attachments and skips deleted links. Attachment deletion removes unused files while keeping those still referenced.
  • Bug Fix – Scenario Activation Error
    A bug has been corrected that allowed a user to “Activate” a Scenario that was already Activated resulting in a UI error.
  • General Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

RapidLCA

  • Bug Fix – RapidLCA Credits Corrected
    A bug preventing users from spending their last credit has been corrected.
  • General Bug Fixes
