Demand is rising for low-carbon buildings that reduce operating costs and outperform conventional structures.
Architects, engineers and other building designers can get bogged down identifying the right products and materials to meet their design goals. C.Scale’s AI-based software can help identify emission sources, recommend actions, and connect designers with makers of low-carbon products that meet their specs.
“C.Scale is the connective tissue the building materials market has been missing,” said Paul Straub of Wireframe Ventures, which co-led C.Scale’s $2 million pre-seed round with Active Impact Investments. By “embedding intelligence directly into design workflows,” he added, “designers get faster access to better materials, manufacturers get qualified leads and projects achieve meaningful carbon reduction.”
Low-carbon design
Since its founding last year, C.Scale’s platform has seen more than 1,200 project designs representing over 120 million square feet of construction. It has added corporate clients, such as Autodesk and Schneider Electric, both of which uses C.Scale to market their low-carbon building products. C.Scale will be at COP30 in Brazil next week in the Buildings Pavillion, which will showcase climate solutions for the buildings and construction sector.
