About:

Title:

Target: U value + Overheating + GreenCostPlan + VE-CC + BIM BoM + BIM BoQ + EE + EC + SC + LCA = GBC

VE = Value Engineering
CC = Cost Cutting
BIM = Building Information Management/Modelling
BoM = Bill of Materials
BoQ = Bill of Quantities
EE = Embodied Energy
EC = Embodied Carbon
SC = Sequestered Carbon
LCA = Life Cycle Assessment
GBC = Green Building Calculator not UK GBC

Scope:

Can we:

Target carbon-back instead of pay-back?
Target Architect’s Green Cost Planning instead of QS’s violet cost price books?
Target competent building addressing U values, overheating and condensation risk as well as low embodied energy through to carbon in use?

Combining U values and other performance, with material’s carbon and LCA data with a bill of materials, labour, quantities and costs and we can engage with these targets, do real value engineering and monetise carbon.

GBC Green Building Calculator is on its way to combining all these issues, with many other functions and one day aims to grow into a BIM App.
