C.Scale
C.Scale (Climate Scale Inc.) is a venture-backed, San Francisco-based Public Benefit Corporation building the software and data infrastructure for whole-building life cycle assessment (WBLCA) and embodied carbon accounting in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry (AECO). Our products are used by 250+ leading design firms to measure and reduce the embodied carbon of buildings—from early schematic design through material specification—influencing over 2,500 current building projects totaling over 300 million square feet. We operate as a two-sided marketplace: AECO firms use our platform to run portfolio-wide embodied carbon analyses and meet compliance and reporting requirements like the AIA 2030 Commitment; building product manufacturers (BPMs) use C.Scale as a high-intent lead generation platform to reach design professionals before specs are written. This serves both sides by connecting supply and demand with a minimum of friction. C.Scale is a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation with a registered mission ‘to support the full decarbonization of the built environment through democratizing access to climate strategy for designers and owners of all buildings everywhere.’ Embodied carbon in buildings is a hard, underfunded problem—and we think software can actually move the needle. That’s why we exist.
