GBC V2 is MS Excel-based, open-book, a multi-functional design tool and calculator.
It adds whole building embodied energy, embodied carbon, sequestered carbon and costs to the existing in-use energy, carbon and costs of GBC V1.
GBC V2 calculates Form Factor to help set U value targets, it engages user’s choice of regulated, design standards, or campaign targets, including:
UK or any national regulations; AECB, CL, CLR, PH, EnerPHit; LETI, ACAN, RIBA, TfL, etc.
GBC V2’s elemental assemblies allow choice of components, materials or products; checks, confirms U values meet targets or warns if not.
Summary sheet emphasises which elements have disproportionate heat losses to enable review of specification choices.
GBC V2 includes a bill of quantities to allow cost planning, quotation collating, and tendering.
With cost and carbon data, intelligent value engineering is possible.
