Problem
The construction industry faces challenges in accurately and efficiently assessing the whole-life carbon impact of building projects, hindering efforts to minimize embodied carbon emissions and comply with increasingly stringent sustainability standards. Traditional carbon assessment methods are often time-consuming, require specialized expertise, and lack the real-time data needed for informed design decisions.
Solution
Preoptima offers two software solutions, CONCEPT and PACER, designed to streamline and enhance carbon assessment and optioneering throughout the lifecycle of construction projects. CONCEPT enables industry professionals to quickly compare the carbon impact of different design options in real-time, facilitating data-driven decisions to minimize a project's carbon footprint. PACER, developed in collaboration with Westminster City Council, provides local planning authorities with a centralized portal to efficiently manage and review whole-life carbon assessments submitted in planning applications, ensuring accuracy and compliance with sustainability policies. By automating material quantity take-offs and providing instant whole-life carbon assessments, Preoptima reduces assessment lead times and improves the accuracy of building modeling. The integration of CONCEPT and PACER aims to create a seamless transition from design to compliance, enabling faster and more accurate reviews by local authorities.
Target Audience
Preoptima serves industry professionals such as architects, developers, property investment and portfolio managers, consultants, and advisors, as well as local authorities responsible for managing and approving construction projects.
