Carbon

Integrated Product Data

Rapid analysis for low carbon buildings

Measure and minimise embodied carbon at concept stage with streamlined, data-backed modelling tools.

Model walls, floors, roofs, and glazing systems in minutes

Automate carbon estimates using trusted global databases

Define lifecycle stages to suit your project boundaries

Visualise carbon hotspots to inform material decisions

Build your first Flow in 10 minutes

Embodied carbon simulations
for quicker design optimisation

Better Building's carbon workflows empower design teams to assess and mitigate embodied carbon impacts efficiently. By modelling typical building systems, such as walls, roofs, floors, and glazing, in under 10 minutes, users can obtain accurate simulations and results. The platform utilises embedded product databases, including BRANZ, EPiC, Building Transparency, and ICE, to automate carbon content calculations.

System-Based Modelling

Define carbon profiles for typical building systems, walls, floors, roofs, and glazing, quickly and accurately.

Preloaded Carbon Datasets

Access embedded carbon data from BRANZ, EPiC, Building Transparency, and ICE for reliable embodied carbon calculations.

Life Cycle Stage Selection

Customise system boundaries across stages like A1–A3 (product), A4–A5 (construction), B4 (use), and C2 (end-of-life).

Carbon Quantity Automation

Automate material quantities based on your building model, reducing manual input and improving consistency.

Material Visualisation

Highlight and review carbon-intensive materials visually within the interface to better inform substitutions.

Whole-Building or Elemental Focus

Conduct detailed carbon assessments at the element level or scale up to whole-building reviews with ease.
