A Carbon Tool (ACT) by Arup
A Carbon Tool (ACT) is an open source web application that enables users to estimate embodied carbon equivalent (LCA) content from Building Information Models (BIM) - using Speckle to solve the challenge of data interoperability in the AEC industry. It is designed to provide quick and efficient feedback during the design process to enable users to identify carbon hotspots and reduce the impact their design has on the built environment.
NRCAN Material Carbon Emissions Estimator (MCE2)
MCE2 is designed for Canada’s home building industry.
CAALA LCA and Energy
Die Analysen der CAALA Software stellen die essentiellen Grundlagen für informierte Entscheidung und dem Heben von Optimierungs- und CO2-Reduktionspotentialen.
How Sustainable is PV solar power?
Almost all solar PV panels are now produced in China, where the electric grid is about twice as carbon-intensive and about 50% less energy efficient than in Europe.

Climate Positive Design - Landscaping LCA
As designers of the built environment, let’s help ensure the future of our planet by reducing carbon footprints and increasing sequestration. This is Climate Positive Design.
AIA-CLF Embodied Carbon Toolkit for Architects
The AIA-CLF Embodied Carbon Toolkit for Architects serves to provide architects an overview and the necessary steps to be taken to reduce embodied carbon in their projects. This resource is divided into three parts, introducing the necessary steps and resources to take in reducing embodied carbon. This resource intends to empower building designers by:
introducing embodied carbon and discussing its significance in furthering architects’ influence in decarbonizing the building industry.
providing an understanding of measuring embodied carbon through the methodology of a life cycle assessment.
equipping them with strategies to reduce embodied carbon in their own projects.
incorporating additional resources for implemented strategies and tools that this resource examines.
Canadian Wood Products EPDs
Environmental product declarations (EPDs) Stakeholders within the building design and construction community are increasingly being asked to include information in their decision-making processes that take into consideration potential environmental impacts. These stakeholders and interested parties expect unbiased product information that is consistent with current best practices and based on objective scientific analysis. In the future, building product purchasing decisions willMore >
The Construction Material Pyramid
Please be aware of differences in the presented data due to your location! All data used for the current version of the "material pyramid" is available data from EPDs assumed valid in Northern Europe and/or Scandinavia. There can be relevant differences to the data that is valid at your location.
Tally - Tips, Tricks, and Hacks
As developers of Tally, KieranTimberlake users have unique ways of streamlining Tally workflows to make the integration of LCA with Revit as easy as possible. In this webinar we will share our favorite tricks with Tally, some even going beyond LCA specific applications by demonstrating how Tally can be a helpful tool for quality assuring a Revit model. This webinar is perfect for streamlining how new users work in Tally and enabling experienced users to get the most out of the software.
