We developed EPIC internally at the architecture firm EHDD to solve a problem that we had as we moved away from net zero energy design towards zero carbon design. There were no tools available to get us beyond intuition in weighing embodied and operational carbon decisions early in the design process. EPIC solved that problem so well that we decided to share it freely with the world in order to increase the speed and scale of climate impact the tool could have.C.Scale enables the full range of actors in the built environment low-friction access to data and insights in an intuitive and welcoming user interface. In this way we are democratizing access to data and expertise.
