Bentley Systems Boosts iTwin Platform With Grey CO Emission Calculator

Bentley Systems is enhancing its iTwin platform to calculate gray CO emissions, with the help of the free, open-source Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3). This tool, developed by the non-profit Building Transparency, aids in assessing and reducing emissions in the construction materials supply chain.

EC3 facilitates benchmarking and reduction of gray CO emissions, making it a valuable addition to Bentley Systems' integrated workflows. The tool, developed by the non-profit Building Transparency, is designed to help the construction industry track and minimize its environmental impact.

Bentley Systems' expansion of the iTwin platform will now include the capability to calculate gray CO emissions using EC3. This integration will provide users with a comprehensive understanding of their project's environmental footprint, from design to construction and operation.

By incorporating EC3 into its iTwin platform, Bentley Systems is empowering its users to make more informed decisions about embodied carbon in construction. This move aligns with the industry's growing focus on sustainability and responsible construction practices.
