The second part of the Optimization & Costs / CO2 Emission Estimation add-on allows you to estimate the CO2 emissions of models. The building shown in the image Apartment Building is used as an example.
The procedure for estimating the CO2 emissions is very similar to the principle described in Chapter Costs. First, activate the Estimation of CO2 Emissions option when creating or editing the materials.
In the CO2 Emission Estimation tab of the same dialog box, you can define the unit emission and the respective unit) for members, surfaces/layers, and solids, which will be applied to each material. The program automatically determines the "sum emissions" and "total emissions" and displays them as shown in the image Estimation of CO2 Emissions.
