A public beta version of a new tool that enables users to learn how building and infrastructure projects can “radically reduce embodied carbon” was released at Greenbuild this month. The Embodied ...
The tool can be used to calculate the embodied carbon of key materials that account for upward of 70% of a building’s global carbon emissions. Reducing this impact requires paying much more attention ...
Researchers at the University of Bath have developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) tool that predicts the carbon ...
The impact of embodied carbon in the built environment has been difficult to assess, due to a lack of data. To address that knowledge gap civil and environmental engineers have created a new tool to ...
A view of the structure of a conceptual building in EC3 showing the embodied energy of its steel and concrete elements. By now it is routine for project teams to consider energy efficiency as part of ...
At last month’s Global Climate Action Summit, Microsoft announced it is the first large corporate user of a new tool to track carbon emissions associated with raw building materials. At last month’s ...
Engineering giant Thornton Tomasetti has launched Beacon, an open-source embodied carbon measurement tool poised to change the way structural engineers understand and manage embodied carbon ...
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Building Transparency announces today its suite of open access data and tools that support broad and swift action across the building industry in addressing embodied carbon’s ...
In order to start integrating embodied carbon studies into projects to meet sustainability goals, it is important to consider many factors such as carbon (kgCO2e) values, and what typical ranges of ...
How buildings are built and operated can have far-reaching environmental implications. While there has been some movement toward more sustainable energy portfolios with net-zero energy and net-zero ...
Software developer Bentley Systems has doubled down on its emphasis on open data standards and data lakes for design and construction, introducing two products earlier this month—OpenSite+ for civil ...
