HOW C.SCALE HELPED

A path to cost-effective carbon neutrality that meets AIA 2030 Commitment targets.

Carbon instead of energy.

C.Scale helped EHDD present scenarios in their proposal through the lens of climate impact to find the lowest cost path to building decarbonization.

Visualizing electrification benefits.

Building electrification coupled with purchased 100% renewable electricity is visualized as a building design strategy, side by side with efficiency and low carbon materials.

“We used C.Scale in the proposal stage... I think it set us apart, as we were up against the best firms in the country. What's really amazing is that when we did a detailed LCA, the embodied carbon results were within 5% of the C.Scale estimates!

The “whole life” view reveals opportunities

By viewing carbon emissions over time, C.Scale graphically demonstrated from the start how providing PVs for Habitat for Humanity homes could offset remaining embodied carbon emissions over 15 years.
