Cactus employs Grasshopper and ShapeDiver to render parametric models in seconds. Whether you’re an engineer, architect, project manager, or client, understanding the carbon impact of your design decisions is as critical as ever. This is exactly what this tool does; play around with different grid sizes, materials, loads and more and calculate the embodied carbon of the building in real time.

We have released this stripped back version of the tool in the spirit of collaborative sustainable design. However, it’s still in the early stages of development and continues to evolve – if you run in to any problems, have feedback or ideas for improvement then just let us know at support.studio@webbyates.com.
