The Embodied Carbon Optimiser, a visual tool from 2050 Materials, simplifies Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) during early building design. Focused on AEC industry transition to low-carbon standards, the tool compares climate impacts of building systems, allowing customisation for components like facades and roofs. It facilitates material choices, providing dynamic environmental breakdowns and 12 assembly configurations per facade system. 

The tool addresses carbon footprint, stored carbon, and water footprint for A1-A3 phases per square meter, aiming for regenerative and low-carbon construction. As architects and designers navigate the climate emergency, such tools become crucial allies, promoting open digital data for sustainable decision-making.
