WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction teams waste hours manually researching sustainability data across multiple sources, comparing material environmental impacts, and verifying certifications for building material selection, leading to less sustainable choices and delayed project timelines.

The Solution

AI-powered platform with 100,000+ products enriched with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) enables instant comparison of carbon footprint, water usage, and circularity metrics, while the API integrates real-time sustainability data into BIM workflows for immediate embodied carbon calculations.
