In the dynamic realm of sustainable design and construction, innovation is the cornerstone of progress. As the industry strides towards a better future, data-driven insights hold the key to unlocking new frontiers of efficiency and environmental stewardship.
Enter the Cambium Data Set - a transformative resource that's rewriting the rules of energy modeling and building performance assessment. At the forefront of this revolution stands cove.tool, the pioneering platform that not only offers but seamlessly supports the Cambium Data Set, revolutionizing how architects, engineers, and contractors approach energy-efficient design.
The Power of the Cambium Data Set
“Cambium” is the dataset that models hourly emission and operational data for the US based on the Standard Scenarios established by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). These scenarios capture projects on grid decarbonization, for instance a 95% reduction in grid-related emissions by 2050 and use the Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) model published by NREL.
The Cambium Data Set is a comprehensive compilation of environmental performance data for thousands of materials. With a focus on life cycle assessments and embodied carbon, this data set empowers professionals to make informed decisions that echo the larger sustainability agenda.
Now, imagine having access to that expansive and accurate collection of material and product data inside your analysis tool.
cove.tool: A Catalyst for Change
In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable design tools, cove.tool stands as a beacon of innovation. What sets cove.tool apart is the seamless integration and support for the Cambium Data Set. By harnessing the power of this data, cove.tool transforms the energy modeling experience. Architects, engineers, and contractors no longer need to grapple with inaccurate estimations or incomplete data. Instead, they can confidently explore a multitude of design options, making real-time decisions that optimize efficiency, cost, and environmental impact directly within the building performance analysis tool.
This data is invaluable as the AEC industry explores the future of grid decarbonization in the United States and the world beyond. With cove.tool, the data is used as a basis for a building project’s lifetime operational carbon calculation(LCA) Module B6 in the U.S. By integrating the Cambium Data Set into projects and operational carbon calculations, cove.tool provides the full view of a project’s lifetime carbon emissions.
