Codesign has collaborated with 2050 Materials to introduce an early-stage Carbon Calculator addressing the construction industry's significant carbon emissions, responsible for 40% globally. Integrated into Codesign's building model, the tool calculates the carbon impact of design decisions, enabling architects to explore various building and material types and receive immediate feedback. This integration at the early design stage empowers architects to make informed decisions, considering sustainability metrics in real time.

The partnership aims to shift the mindset towards making sustainability the default in construction, highlighting the potential for global impact by providing stakeholders with clear insights into their carbon footprint from the outset.
