First, we recommend taking the dc Design Courses to better understand sustainable design and how improving Carbon Efficiency can reduce the carbon footprint of your product designs.

The next stage is to use the materials Directory to identify suitable materials that can help you to reduce your carbon footprint.

By using the Estimator designers can compare different materials and production locations to optimise their designs and report the estimated carbon footprint of design variations. All within minutes.

Once a design has been finalised, it’s ready to be submitted for certification.

Subscribers get 40% off dc certification.

Certified products are also listed in our FREE product directory coming soon.

Quick and simple Carbon Footprint analysis and benchmarking

The Estimator measures the total amount of carbon a piece furniture uses in its lifecycle is the industry’s first benchmark tool for Carbon Efficiency.

It allows designers, estimators, and procurement managers to quickly estimate the total amount of carbon of produces before certification.

Additionally, users can also produce self-declaration certificates for their customers confirming the Estimated Carbon Footprint and Carbon Efficiency.

“The Carbon Efficiency estimator is great, it’s easy to use and intuitive and it’s helping us to win business. We use it in the design phase to compare different design iterations and we use it to engage with customers and demonstrate the benefits of circular design which it helps us to position our ITAB Sustainable design offer”.
