Calculate embodied carbon for your building model automatically

Reads your building model data and uses AI to estimate its carbon footprint, then delivers a full report.

The problem it solves

Calculating the embodied carbon of a building project by hand means digging through material lists, looking up emission factors, and building spreadsheets from scratch. That work eats days of an engineer's time and results are hard to trust when categories are inconsistent. You need a way to turn raw model data into a defensible carbon estimate without the manual grind.

Who it fits

An architecture, engineering, or construction firm that needs to report embodied carbon for a building project.

How it works

  1. A building model export or spreadsheet is provided as the starting data
  2. The system identifies materials and building elements automatically
  3. AI classifies materials and estimates carbon emissions for each one
  4. Totals are calculated across the whole project
  5. A detailed Excel workbook and summary report are delivered
What you get

Carbon totals you never manually tallied

You get a full carbon footprint report for your building project, broken down and ready to submit.

What you get

A multi-sheet carbon report with totals, hotspots, and recommendations for the project.

What you need

An account with an AI provider such as OpenAI or Anthropic, and Excel or spreadsheet software.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
