Title: Active Estimating Tracks Carbon Footprint of Construction Projects

United States, 10th Feb 2026 - Construction projects face increasing scrutiny over their environmental impact, particularly in terms of carbon emissions. Active Estimating introduces a data-driven solution that tracks the carbon footprint of construction activities, enabling project teams to make informed, environmentally responsible decisions. The system integrates real-time quantity takeoffs with embedded sustainability metrics to quantify carbon outputs throughout the project lifecycle.Quantifying Environmental Impact Through EstimationThe methodology applied by Active Estimating emphasizes early-phase decision-making. By embedding Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and embodied carbon metrics into the estimating process, users can immediately visualize the carbon impact of their material and scope choices. The system calculates emissions from material extraction through installation, facilitating data-informed selection at the estimating phase rather than during costly late-stage redesigns.Core Features Enabling Carbon TrackingMaterial-Specific Carbon Metrics: Estimates include carbon data per unit (e.g., kg CO₂e/ft²), ensuring transparency in material selection.Scenario Comparisons: Users can simulate design alternatives to evaluate carbon implications side by side.Granular Reporting: Outputs provide breakdowns by division, cost code, and location, useful for corporate sustainability reports and compliance tracking.Benefits for Project Owners and EstimatorsThis data-driven approach empowers stakeholders to adopt greener construction practices from day one. Estimators are not just providing costs—they are helping drive sustainability. Project owners, in turn, gain visibility into how scope and specification decisions influence their environmental ta...
