Bentley Systems has announced the general availability of new Carbon Analysis capabilities in iTwin Experience to assess and reduce carbon impacts for more sustainable infrastructure. These capabilities enable infrastructure engineers to simplify carbon reporting, visualize embodied carbon, and rapidly explore alternatives for better designs.
The new features deliver a 'cradle-to-gate' assessment of a design's carbon footprint, from raw material extraction until it leaves the factory's gate. They seamlessly integrate design data with chosen carbon assessment tools, allowing professionals to link carbon footprints directly to design choices and see impacts dynamically change across iterations.
Key benefits include automated material quantification, easy reporting, and in-content 3D visualizations. WSP, an early user, reported significant time savings in creating carbon reports, reducing feedback loops from months to days.
