The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) has launched a tool that can simultaneously report on whole-life costs and carbon.

Having helped save 30,000t of carbon across 137 of its projects, Morgan Sindall’s carbon calculator, CarboniCa, is being developed to the next level to incorporate AI.

Morgan Sindall Construction has secured nearly £1m funding from Innovate UK to enhance its whole life carbon assessment (WLCA) tool.

Major construction clients, including National Highways, Heathrow and Sellafield, have pledged to use the PAS 2080 carbon management standard as a part of five carbon commitments.

Morgan Sindall will be deploying its carbon assessment tool at a school project in Hertfordshire.

The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) launched this week a free-to-access benchmark tool for infrastructure carbon assessment in the UK construction industry.

The embodied carbon analytics AI system developed by a consortium of Winvic Construction, University of the West of England, and Costain will soon be ready for free trials.

Laing O’Rourke has developed its own carbon calculator that has helped reduce embodied carbon by up to 19% on more than a dozen projects so far.

A carbon calculator has been launched to help organisations and their supply chains track and measure their sustainability performance.
