About C.Scale

C.Scale is a cloud‑based whole‑life carbon data platform that lets architects, engineers and sustainability consultants generate baseline emissions and explore low‑carbon design scenarios from a few project inputs. The platform provides real‑time carbon hot‑spot analysis, access to a searchable database of verified product EPDs, and exportable reports for standards such as LEED v5, AIA 2030 and CalGreen, enabling data‑driven decarbonization throughout the design and construction workflow.

Problem

Architects and engineers lack a unified, data-driven tool to quickly estimate and manage whole‑life carbon emissions throughout a building’s design process, making it difficult to set targets, explore decarbonization strategies, and meet growing regulatory reporting requirements.

Solution

C.Scale offers a cloud‑based whole‑life carbon data platform that guides users from early concept through detailed design and procurement. By entering a few project parameters, the platform generates baseline emissions and multiple low‑carbon scenarios using machine‑learning models and industry‑average EPD data. Designers can iteratively refine assessments as more detail becomes available, select verified low‑carbon products, and connect selections to BIM models. The system also streamlines compliance by producing ready‑to‑export reports for standards such as LEED v5, AIA 2030, CalGreen, and other emerging policies. Portfolio tools enable firms to benchmark and track emissions across multiple projects, supporting data‑driven decision‑making and client communication.

Target Audience

Primary users are architecture and engineering firms, sustainability consultants, and construction teams that need to embed embodied carbon analysis into their design and reporting workflows.

Features

  • Quick baseline and scenario generation from six basic inputs (name, year, location, use, levels, area) in under ten minutes
  • Interactive identification of carbon “hot spots” and real‑time impact of design alternatives
  • Access to a searchable database of 60k+ products with verified Environmental Product Declarations for material selection
  • Ability to build project‑specific and firm‑wide product libraries that stay linked to life‑cycle assessments
  • Planned BIM integration (Tally 2.0) to maintain a continuous carbon workflow from concept to construction documents
  • Portfolio dashboards with custom tagging, tree‑map visualizations, and benchmarking against industry standards
  • Exportable PDF and Excel reports tailored for LEED v5, AIA 2030, CalGreen, and other decarbonization certifications
