The Athena Sustainable Materials Institute is a small Ottawa-based environmental services organization that operates as an objective think tank advancing green buildings through life cycle assessment. It collaborates with construction practitioners, product manufacturers, and policymakers to help the industry adopt LCA-based decision making. Its ongoing work includes developing and maintaining life cycle assessment resources and the environmental footprint data behind them for use by design professionals and policy makers. It also conducts custom research projects with a specialized team, with findings that inform the wider effort to deliver accessible LCA tools to the construction sector. In 2026, the institute expanded its board with Marco Pronto.
