Bentley Systems Boosts iTwin Platform to Tackle Grey CO Emissions
Bentley Systems is enhancing its iTwin platform to tackle a crucial environmental challenge. The company is integrating workflows to calculate and manage grey CO emissions, a significant step towards sustainability in the construction industry.
Bentley Systems is incorporating the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) into its iTwin platform. EC3 is a free, open-source tool developed by the non-profit organization Building Transparency. This tool focuses on reducing emissions in the supply chain of construction materials, a critical aspect known as 'grey' CO emissions.
EC3 enables users to benchmark, assess, and ultimately reduce these emissions. By integrating EC3 into the iTwin platform, Bentley Systems is expanding its capabilities to support the construction industry's efforts to meet its sustainability goals.
Bentley Systems' integration of EC3 into its iTwin platform is a significant development in the fight against climate change. This move will enable the construction industry to better understand and manage its grey CO emissions, paving the way for more sustainable practices.
