What it does
Embodied Carbon Esg is an agent skill from datadrivenconstruction/DDC_Skills_for_AI_Agents_in_Construction. Estimate embodied carbon and produce ESG/climate reporting for construction: LCA per work item, material-based carbon factors, EU taxonomy and CSRD alignment. Use when a project needs carbon estimates or sustainability reporting.
Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 221 AI skills for construction: BIM analysis, cost estimation, scheduling, document control, and automation with Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A project needs carbon estimates
- Sustainability reporting
Example prompts
- “/embodied-carbon-esg”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce45bbf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
oekobaudat.decircularecology.comfinance.ec.europa.eu
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Embodied Carbon Esg loads about 664 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Embodied Carbon & ESG for Construction (2026)
Why it matters now
From 2026 the EU CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and EU Taxonomy force contractors and developers to report embodied carbon (A1–A5 life-cycle modules), not just operational energy. Estimators need carbon numbers next to price numbers at the BOQ line level.
Method
Carbon = quantity × carbon factor, applied per material resource line — exactly parallel to quantity × unit price = cost.
work item → components[] → material lines → quantity × EF (kg CO₂e / unit) → line carbon
BOQ roll-up: Σ line carbon = project embodied carbon (A1–A3) + transport/waste (A4–A5)Data sources for factors
| Source | Coverage | License |
|---|---|---|
| ÖKOBAUDAT (DE) | building materials | open |
| INIES (FR) FDES | products | open |
| ICE Database (UK) | embodied carbon | free registration |
| EPD libraries (ECO Platform) | manufacturer EPDs | varies |
The CWICR bases already carry per-resource quantity and unit — attach an EF (kg CO₂e/unit) column for the materials and the roll-up is automatic.
What to compute per project
- A1–A3 embodied carbon per BOQ section and per trade (from material lines).
- A4–A5 transport + site waste assumptions (distance bands, waste rates per material).
- kg CO₂e / m² and / m³ intensity benchmarks for early design.
- Hotspot report: top 10 carbon lines (usually concrete, steel, aluminium, insulation).
EU Taxonomy / CSRD alignment
- Map each work item to the taxonomy activity (construction of new buildings 7.1, renovation 7.2, …).
- Report DNSH (Do No Significant Harm) screening: circularity, waste, water for the top materials.
- Keep the evidence trail: factor source + version per line (auditors ask).
Honest limits
- Carbon factors are regional and versioned — never mix databases without noting it.
- BIM takeoff gives geometry; carbon needs material takeoff (from CWICR
resource_name+resource_quantity). - Early-phase estimates are ±30–50%; label them as such.
