ACCORDING TO the United Nations Environment Programme, the manufacture of building materials produces 11 percent of all global greenhouse gases. In November 2019, the Carbon Leadership Forum and a host of partner organizations launched the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator, or EC3-free, open-source software intended to help architects, engineers, and clients assess and reduce these up-front emissions.
