Creators of the free-to-use Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator have added several features since the tool’s release last November. And more are coming, says EC3’s developer. Many of the enhancements are in response to requests from users of the first digital aid to estimate embodied carbon in building production.
EC3’s improvements are in part based on feedback from 470 of the more than 6,500 individuals who have downloaded the tool. “This is a user-centered tool,” says Phil Northcott, founder of EC3’s software developer, C-Change Labs.
