How do I see what's driving my mix design's environmental impact score?

When you view a mix design's results, the Generator shows the major contributors behind each environmental impact category — not just Global Warming Potential. This article shows you how to switch between impact categories and identify which factors (e.g., materials, transportation) are driving each score.

• You have an active mix design already created in the Generator.
• You have permission to view/edit mix designs in your dashboard.
• if their mix design doesn't appear in the dashboard please contact us

After selecting a new impact category from the drop-down, the driver list updates to show the specific contributors for that category, ranked by their share of the impact.
