Building designers can now AI predict embodied carbon in real time
AI Article Summary

The article discusses a new AI tool that allows building designers to predict embodied carbon levels in real time during the design stage of a project. Embodied carbon is a significant component of a building's total CO2 emissions throughout its lifecycle. Accurately assessing this carbon footprint has been challenging without the right technology, but this innovation aims to provide more precision and usability in design assessments. Anna Beckett from Buro Happold highlights the potential impact of this tool in achieving more sustainable building practices.
