HTS+ Carbon Counter

Combining years of research on embodied carbon and best practice assessment methods, we have collaborated with KLH Sustainability and Sturgis Consulting to develop a carbon counting Revit plugin tool. This allows us to measure the embodied carbon of new and existing structural elements and communicate the carbon cost of design choices to clients and collaborators.

The tool is used heavily throughout all stages of a project from the initial bidding process through to optioneering and then at practical completion. It not only calculates the embodied carbon for the whole scheme, but also highlights elements with disproportionately large carbon footprints, giving crucial feedback and allowing us to make informed decisions.
