Embodied Carbon Construction Calculator (EC3) Tool | Phil Northcott | ECN Vancouver

Phil Northcott is the CEO of C-Change Labs, the software developer behind EC3 (Embodied Carbon Construction Calculator), which is a highly anticipated open-source tool for architects, engineers, owners, construction companies, building material suppliers and policymakers to compare and reduce embodied carbon emissions from construction materials.

This presentation gives an overview and demo of the EC3 tool, which was launched one week prior to the filming of this presentation at our ECN Vancouver event "EC3 Tool Demo and EPD Discussion" on Nov. 26, 2019.

EC3 aggregates publicly available Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) data, enabling users to compare the embodied carbon impacts from different manufacturers within common construction material categories such as concrete, steel, wood, and insulation.

The EC3 tool is developed by Skanska USA and C-Change Labs, in partnership with the Carbon Leadership Forum and over 30 industry partners.
