BEAM Estimator

The BEAM Estimator is a free, web-based carbon footprint calculator specifically designed for low- and mid-rise residential and commercial buildings. Developed by Builders for Climate Action, BEAM enables users to input building dimensions and select from comprehensive material options to calculate embodied carbon impacts for structural, enclosure, and partition assemblies. The tool focuses on "cradle-to-gate" analysis and is designed for practitioners without LCA backgrounds, providing comparative information through an intuitive interface.
