Buildings account for over one-third of global emissions and energy use. Meeting climate pledges will require achieving high operational energy effici…

A Carbon Tool (ACT) is an open source web application that enables users to estimate embodied carbon equivalent (LCA) content from Building Information Models (BIM) - using Speckle to solve the challenge of data interoperability in the AEC industry. It is designed to provide quick and efficient feedback during the design process to enable users to identify carbon hotspots and reduce the impact their design has on the built environment.

This tool compares typical industry building systems in an apples-to-apples manner by using the same module and system boundary for each building system. Tally was used to generate the LCA analysis.

MCE2 is designed for Canada’s home building industry.

The AIA-CLF Embodied Carbon Toolkit for Architects serves to provide architects an overview and the necessary steps to be taken to reduce embodied carbon in their projects. This resource is divided into three parts, introducing the necessary steps and resources to take in reducing embodied carbon. This resource intends to empower building designers by: introducing embodied carbon and discussing its significance in furthering architects’ influence in decarbonizing the building industry. providing an understanding of measuring embodied carbon through the methodology of a life cycle assessment. equipping them with strategies to reduce embodied carbon in their own projects. incorporating additional resources for implemented strategies and tools that this resource examines.

Environmental product declarations (EPDs) Stakeholders within the building design and construction community are increasingly being asked to include information in their decision-making processes that take into consideration potential environmental impacts. These stakeholders and interested parties expect unbiased product information that is consistent with current best practices and based on objective scientific analysis. In the future, building product purchasing decisions willMore >
