More attention is being concentrated on the embodied carbon and operational carbon performance by enterprises, corporations, and governments while designers, architects, and engineers need information about building materials to make smarter choices. EC3 is a very useful tool that focuses on the upfront supply chain emissions of construction materials and can work with BIM to calculate the carbon emission with the standard of the United States. Carbon Accounting Tool (CAT), a separate plug-in is created with C# programming language for the secondary development in Revit 2023. This plug-in is different from EC3 by selecting trees from various climate zones to be planted to achieve carbon offsets, and the remaining carbon can be purchased at a price based on the real-time carbon credit price. The final plug-in can read the materials of the Revit building model through element materials and calculate the total amount of embodied carbon for each material in the current volume according to the carbon spreadsheet defined in advance. Then the user can freely select the tree types in different climate zones according to the building location or select a certain mass of trees to make the current building carbon neutral according to the pre-defined value of embodied carbon that can be absorbed by each tree of different types. If there is any remaining carbon that cannot be neutralized, the user can find out how many carbon credits to purchase and the price in the last step of the carbon trading interface in the plug-in.The concept of carbon neutrality is to keep the additional carbon from being released into the atmosphere, which is also regarded as a carbon offset. The total amount of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions produced directly or indirectly by a country, enterprise, product, activity, or individual within a certain period is offset by planting trees, energy conservation, and other forms of emission reduction to achieve positive and negative offset, and achieve relative "zero emissions." This plug-in can indicate that the carbon offset for this construction modeling considers the existing plants and the requirements of planting to reach the zero target. Additionally, carbon trading, a practice designed to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by providing regulatory and economic incentives, is also an important field for the plugin. Designers and builders can select the specific types of trees or trees of corresponding weight to plant to offset the building's carbon emissions, thus achieving carbon neutrality without the purchase of carbon trading.
