2050 Materials API
Integrate real-time data on building material climate impacts with our API-first solution. Access the industry's largest, highest-quality sustainability database for immediate embodied carbon calculations.
Definition
The 2050 Materials API is a RESTful service designed for simplicity and depth, offering detailed documentation to ensure ease of use. It provides comprehensive access to over 100,000 Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and information on more than 10,000 generic materials, enriched with millions of data points that have undergone rigorous quality assessment.A standout feature of this API is the embodied carbon estimator endpoint, which integrates with BIM software to provide users with early-stage estimates of embodied carbon, enhancing sustainability analysis in the design process.Notably, companies such as Mott MacDonald, Hawkins Brown, Cercula, and Codesign are utilizing this API to enhance their tools, thereby elevating their capabilities in sustainable design and assessment.
In Depth
The 2050 Materials API provides programmatic access to building material sustainability data — EPDs, embodied carbon factors, and environmental impact metrics. AI platforms can consume this API to integrate sustainability analysis directly into the design workflow, calculating the whole-building embodied carbon impact as materials are specified and updating the calculation as specifications change.
