Embodied carbon
-64%
Achieved through mass timber core, geopolymer concrete, and circular finishes.
Explore adaptable frameworks, climate-positive solutions, and real-world insights curated for international architects, planners, and sustainability leaders.
Flagship concept
Mixed-use vertical forest reducing operational emissions by 88% through passive design, algae façades, and community microgrid.
Navigate policy landscapes, quantify carbon impact, and tailor operational strategies aligned with international standards like LEED Zero, BREEAM, and China’s GB/T 51350.
Integrated Policy Lens
Stay ahead of EU Taxonomy, US IRA incentives, and APAC building mandates in one curated dashboard.
Material Circularity Studio
Compare regionally sourced low-carbon materials with live embodied-energy analytics.
Resilience Prototyping
Simulate climate-risk scenarios, biodiversity net gain, and passive cooling thresholds.
Stakeholder Alignment
Use shared canvases, carbon passports, and funding playbooks to align global partners.
