Environmental costs will increasingly drive our choices of construction technology and materials. Buildings with small embodied carbon footprints are more likely to gain planning permissions and obtain customer buy-in.

Carbon configurators can help your buyers to understand and optimise the impact to the environment by using sophisticated house configurators with embodied carbon calculations. Such Carbon configurators will calculate the CO2 footprint of all materials used in the chosen design configuration as well as the footprint of logistics and the total impact of the whole building.
