The Vectorworks Embodied Carbon Calculator (VECC) provides you with the ability to assess embodied carbon emissions through a project’s lifecycle. The analysis looks at individual materials, a project’s lifecycle stages, and benchmarks for set targets.

During the webinar, attendees will hear of standards, guidance, and legislation that drive embodied carbon to the front of the sustainable construction conversation. Presenter Luka Stefanovic, Senior Architecture Industry Specialist, will demonstrate assessing the carbon footprint of a design with built-in tools that enable regular evaluations during the design process.

Troy Diamond, Technical Support Specialist, RAIA, will host the webinar and a brief Q&A on how VECC can be utilised for Australian workflows.

With the Vectorworks Embodied Carbon Calculator, you’ll have the power to gather metrics and make informed decisions as you look to achieve carbon-reducing targets.

This webinar is equivalent to one (1) hour of formal CPD upon completion of assessment. Download your questionnaire here.
