Also known as: Learn Carbon
What it does
Open-source Rhino plugin that uses two neural networks trained on the Carbon Leadership Forum Embodied Carbon Benchmark data. One predicts the embodied GWP of a conceptual massing; the other recommends a structural type that meets a carbon target. Published at eCAADe 2022.
What it can calculate
- Machine-learning prediction of embodied Global Warming Potential (tCO2e) from a massing model, typology and location
- Recommended structural system for a target GWP
Status
Research/hackathon project (2021–2022), later updated for Rhino 8. Ongoing maintenance and exact license not verified.
