How Gensler’s gBlox.CO2 Tool Accelerates Low-Carbon Decision-Making

The choices architects and designers make alongside their clients have generational impacts through the projects they create. Gensler’s new Carbon Benchmarking Tool (gBlox.CO2) provides instant feedback on building materials and design choices, to help design teams create lower-carbon, more resilient buildings—without slowing down the creative process.

gBlox.CO2 evaluates carbon impact at the earliest stages of design, comparing material choices and design strategies in real time, while cutting down complex analysis stages to just minutes. In this video, Gensler’s resilience and technology leaders explain how they’re using the tool at the early stages of projects in order to improve efficiency in decision-making and provide real tangibility to the impact our clients are inspired to create around the world. Joined by designers, architects, and specialists across the firm, Chief Digital Officer Joseph Joseph explains how the tool can help designers make informed decisions.
