[Webinar] Your introduction to sustainable building with the Embodied Carbon Calculator

Construction elements are responsible for up to 70 percent of a building's carbon footprint. Reducing the CO₂ emissions of any construction design is therefore crucial for a climate-neutral future in the construction industry.

Find out more in the webinar about the basics and the importance of sustainable construction and how you can specifically reduce CO₂ emissions. We will introduce you to the Embodied Carbon Calculator, a tool with which you can effectively plan your projects more sustainably.

Implementing sustainable construction projects

The Embodied Carbon Calculator allows users of Tekla Structures BIM software to assess the potential impact of designs on the environment. Designers and engineers can calculate the embodied carbon emissions (the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere through the manufacture and maintenance of all materials) at different stages of a project and compare the carbon footprint of different design options.

Hanan Regh, Presales Consultant at Trimble, will introduce you to how the Embodied Carbon Calculator works and show you how to estimate the carbon footprint of your project and identify the areas with the greatest savings potential. Gain insights into project examples and learn how to efficiently implement sustainable construction projects.
