Utilization and embodied carbon - review

Graphically focus in on high carbon usage and inefficiency from a Review View using the Embodied Carbon command and the Utilization and embodied carbon attribute.

Review utilization and embodied carbon

Open a view and switch the view regime to Review View.
On the Review tab, click Embodied Carbon.
Go to the Properties window.
In the Attribute list, select Utilization and embodied carbon.
Set the Entity type and Variant to review.
Set the Carbon source category to be review.
Note: Any entity in the model can have multiple carbon sources that relate to it, for example:
- A concrete beam has concrete and reinforcement
- A composite beam has steel, shear studs, and potentially transverse shear reinforcement
For example

Set filters to focus on where the carbon impact might be reduced

Set the utilization filter as required.
- Value below - only entities with utilization below the specified value are displayed
- Value above - only entities with utilization above the specified value are displayed
- Lowest X % - only the lowest specified percentage of utilizations are displayed
- Highest X % - only the highest specified percentage of utilizations are displayed
Set the embodied carbon filter as required.
- Value below - only entities with a carbon usage below the specified value are displayed
- Value above - only entities with a carbon usage above the specified value are displayed
- Lowest X % - only the lowest specified percentage of carbon usages are displayed
- Highest X % - only the highest specified percentage of carbon usages are displayed

Typically, filters would be applied to detect where high carbon usage occurs in combination with low utilization, as this informs where the carbon impact could be reduced.

For example: Highest 50% embodied carbon combined with lowest 50% utilization.
