This configurator tool is designed to help constructors and architectures to calculate the embodied carbon, material weight, and material cost of a parametric low-rise building. The building is flexible and will automatically calculate the embodied carbon based on the inputs parameters.
Intended users
The intended users should be engineers working in sustainability design and people who are interested in knowing the carbon footprint of the designed building.
Need you’re trying to provide a solution or support for
The embodied carbon of the building is responsible for about 20% of total carbon dioxide emissions globally. This tool is intended to help engineers and potential owners of the building to understand the carbon footprint of the designed building.
Inputs
Material Types (Concrete/ Steel / Timber)
The basic geometry of the building (Length, Width, Height)
Underlying logic of the model you’ll implement
Based on the basic geometry of the building and given materials types of the structural systems, this tool can calculate the total embodied carbon based on the material weight and material types.
Outputs
Total embodied carbon of the building
Material Weight
Material Cost
