We’re on a mission to scale climate action in the built environment by bringing actionable carbon data to every design and real estate professional on the planet. No more spreadsheets or incomplete calculations. Our model helps teams determine which measures are most impactful and which aren’t, ensuring that scarce resources can support the best strategies. We’re working towards a future where every project team working on every building has the tools to reduce emissions and contribute to a healthy and equitable built environment.
C.scale is an outgrowth of the culture of innovation at EHDD, an architecture firm with offices in San Francisco and Seattle. After decades on the vanguard of net zero energy, EHDD partner Brad Jacobson, FAIA, saw the need to evolve from considering only energy use to a holistic understanding of operational, embodied, and landscape-related carbon emissions. Jack Rusk was hired to build the data models to support this, parlaying his academic work at the Yale School of the Environment to practical applications for architects. Together with C.Scale’s growing team of data engineers, building scientists, and subject matter experts, they are committed to leveraging data to support climate action at speed and scale.
