This web-based application estimates the potential for carbon emissions, carbon storage, and carbon sequestration for design alternatives based on land use and at various scales. It can be used in the early stages of a project at various scales to compare design options, test alternate land uses, structural systems, and landscape and façade materials. Users input information about the potential design including land use and materials and the app estimates embodied carbon, carbon sequestered, and carbon stored. This tool is recommended for use at a campus or neighborhood masterplan scale, but it has enough specificity for site-scale concept design.
