Curated Materials Library
Find materials quickly, with clear embodied carbon metrics from verified manufacturer EPDs.

Specify low carbon, without the headache
ECI is a curated embodied carbon index for architects: clean metrics, side-by-side material comparisons, and assembly validation built for real workflows.
Embodied carbon data exists.
But it's not integrated into design tools.
The built environment is responsible for over 30% of global emissions, yet embodied carbon is still treated as an afterthought. Architects need to consider material carbon as designs evolve.
The tools you need to specify with confidence
- Curated materials dataset for architects
- Manufacturer sourced EPDs with version history
- Consistent, comparable metrics
- Shortlist and document decisions faster
- Collections for individuals, teams, and practices
- Assemblies and performance validation
Collections & Comparisons
Build reusable shortlists and compare options side by side to justify choices across teams and projects.
Assemblies as a Design Tool
Test build-ups for embodied carbon and performance as your design changes.
A clearer path to low carbon specification
ECI helps architects find the right materials, justify decisions, and validate assemblies as designs evolve.
