Product 07 · Carbon intelligence & optimization for construction

CARBON.AI

Calculate. Understand. Predict. Reduce.

Construction projects generate carbon impacts across materials, design choices, transportation, site activities and building operation. Carbon information is often calculated as a separate sustainability exercise rather than being integrated into everyday project decisions.

CARBON.AI is Conium AI's AI-powered carbon intelligence and optimization solution for construction projects. Rather than functioning only as a carbon-footprint calculator, the platform is designed to connect carbon information with design, procurement, cost, schedule and project-control decisions.

Beyond the footprint calculator

Manage carbon as an active project-control variable, not a retrospective reporting exercise.

CARBON.AI brings carbon into the same decisions as design, procurement, cost and schedule, while the project can still change course.

Module 01

Automated Carbon Calculation

Structured project carbon information, with less manual data preparation.

CARBON.AI can use BoQs, BIM models, specifications, material information, EPDs, procurement records, transportation and site data to calculate and structure project carbon information.

AI-assisted material mapping reduces manual data preparation while retaining verification controls for critical calculations.

Data sources

  • BoQs
  • BIM models
  • Specifications
  • Material information
  • EPDs
  • Procurement records
  • Transportation data
  • Site data
Module 02

Carbon Intelligence & Optimization

Find the largest contributors and evaluate the alternatives.

The platform identifies the largest carbon contributors and evaluates alternative materials, suppliers, design solutions and construction approaches.

Decisions can be assessed across carbon, cost, schedule, technical performance and constructability rather than carbon in isolation.

  • Suppliers
  • Design solutions

Carbon-at-Completion

A forward-looking view of where the project's carbon is heading.

As project design, procurement and execution evolve, CARBON.AI can provide a forward-looking Carbon-at-Completion view: comparing the project carbon target with the latest forecast, identifying emerging variance and explaining the packages, materials or decisions driving the change.

Carbon-at-Completion view

  • Project carbon target vs. latest forecast
  • Emerging variance
  • Packages, materials and decisions driving the change
  • Design-vs-actual carbon monitoring

Business value

Carbon managed during the project, not reported after it.

CARBON.AI gives project teams the ability to manage carbon as an active project-control variable rather than a retrospective reporting exercise.

  • Faster and more consistent project carbon assessment
  • Earlier identification of carbon hotspots
  • Better material and supplier decisions
  • Stronger sustainability compliance
CARBON.AI + PROCURE.AI

Where commercial decisions meet sustainability.

Together, CARBON.AI and PROCURE.AI connect commercial decision-making with sustainability, so the carbon impact of a material or supplier is visible at the moment it is chosen.
