We're excited to announce the much-anticipated release of the Embodied Carbon Feature! The Embodied Carbon Feature allows you to automatically estimate detailed structural, enclosure, and interior material quantities in real-time, based on building geometry. With the Embodied Carbon Feature, you can create automated embodied carbon metrics for all your projects and uncover key insights on carbon emissions to make critical project and design decisions. Automatically select and assign EPDs and enable easy cross-team collaboration to streamline your embodied carbon calculations and simplify the decision-making process. Future releases will include operational carbon calculations and effortless AIA 2030 DDx and SE2050 reporting. In this 60-minute session, our team of expert building scientists will provide a quick overview of the Embodied Carbon Feature, its components, and workflow.
