The embodied carbon analytics AI system developed by a consortium of Winvic Construction, University of the West of England, and Costain will soon be ready for free trials.
Built environment professionals can register for the AI System for Predicting Embodied Carbon in Construction (ASPEC) now. They will be able to access free trials towards the end of the year.
Users will be able to upload a Revit model to the web-based system. It will then calculate the building or infrastructure project’s carbon output within minutes. Materials can be altered within ASPEC to directly affect the real-time calculations of the carbon data. The consortium says this allows projects to be designed “in a ‘green first’, non-time-consuming approach for the first time”.
ASPEC is integrated with the Government Green House Gas Conversion Factors, the Inventory of Carbon and Energy and the Environment Agency, “making it the largest database of environmental construction data in the world”, the consortium claims.
