The architectural tensioned membrane sector, known for its innovative use of lightweight and flexible materials, plays a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability. This paper presents a novel initiative by Formfinder.com aimed at developing a CO2 calculator tailored specifically for tensioned membrane structures. This digital tool is designed to enable industry stakeholders to measure and manage the embodied carbon throughout the lifecycle of their projects, thereby deepening their commitment to carbon reduction. The necessity for precise and specialized numerical methods to evaluate environmental impacts in this sector is significant. Our initiative meets this demand by employing advanced modeling techniques that quantify embodied carbon, aligning with global sustainability efforts. The primary objective of this tool is to offer a reliable and straightforward mechanism for calculating CO2 emissions from the production, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of tensioned membrane materials. Moreover, it aids the industry's transition towards sustainable practices by providing actionable insights and facilitating transparent carbon metrics reporting. Our methodology integrates numerical modeling with empirical data from established databases and industry collaborations. By considering factors such as material types, manufacturing processes, and operational conditions, the calculator delivers a comprehensive assessment of environmental impacts. Initial tests suggest that the CO2 calculator not only improves the understanding of carbon footprints but also encourages the adoption of environmentally friendly practices. This tool's adaptability makes it a valuable asset for stakeholders worldwide, underscoring the potential of numerical modeling in advancing environmental sustainability within the architectural tensioned membrane industry.
