Embodied carbon you can prove.
Upload a bill of quantities and an IFC model. CarbonArchitect AI matches each material to a real EPD and calculates GWP per line, element and life-cycle stage. The arithmetic is deterministic and the result comes with a receipt that anyone can verify.
New to this? Embodied carbon is the CO₂ released to make and transport a building's materials, before anyone moves in. This app tells you how much a design causes, which materials cause most of it, and what to change. How it works
- 1Upload your material list (Excel) and optionally the 3D model (IFC)
- 2The AI finds verified product data (EPD) for each material
- 3See total CO₂e, the biggest sources and compare design options
- 4Get suggestions for lower-carbon materials and a verifiable receipt
EPD forensics
Every material matched to a real EPD from Quarry or your PDF, with declared unit, stage values, source link, validity and a data-quality flag.
Compare variants
Concrete vs brick vs timber, side by side by life-cycle stage, per m² of floor area.
Optimizer
“Cut 20 % CO₂e” proposes functionally equivalent material swaps, ranked by kg saved.
Carbon receipts
Every kg traces back to line item, IFC element, quantity, conversion, EPD and stage value. Anyone can verify it.
The AI only searches for and matches data. All arithmetic and unit conversion is plain, unit-tested code, so the same input always gives the same number.
