Embodied Carbon Calculator

Estimate the upfront embodied carbon of a residential build by wall, roof, and foundation assemblies; compare alternatives and see car-mile equivalents.

Default embodied-carbon example

  • Conventional 2,000 sq ft build: 49.6 t CO2e total
  • 24.8 kg CO2e per sq ft (medium rating)
  • Concrete slab dominates at 28 t CO2e
  • Equivalent to driving an average car 124,000 miles
