MVRDV 近日推出了一款名为 CarbonSpace 的在线工具，这是一款透明易用的设计工具，意图帮助建筑师从设计初期就能够科学考虑建筑物的碳排放量。 CarbonSpace 由 MVRDV 的研发部门 MVRDV NEXT 与 Studio AvW 合作开发，旨在提升人们对碳排放的认知，并促进数据透明化。目前，此款工具已免费向公众开放。CarbonSpace 支持在设计草图阶段就纳入对碳排放量的估算，从而帮助设计师在设计全过程中做出更明智的决策。基于材料用量估算和透明的数据库，CarbonSpace 能够快速提供反馈，并支持用户对不同的设计方案进行对比。此外，MVRDV 还计划与世界高层建筑与都市人居协会 (CTBUH) 合作，通过 CarbonSpace 建立全球统一的建筑碳排放标准。

MVRDV has launched CarbonSpace, a transparent, web-based tool that helps architects design with embodied carbon from day one of the design process. Developed out of a wish to improve carbon literacy and promote data transparency, CarbonSpace is now available to the public free of charge. Created by the practice’s research and development unit MVRDV NEXT, in collaboration with Studio AvW, the tool is designed to support informed decision-making throughout the design process, starting as early as a napkin sketch. It works with quantity estimates and a transparent database, offering fast feedback and the ability to compare different design options. Following its launch, the tool will also be used in collaboration with the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) to help establish a shared, global understanding of embodied carbon in buildings.

建筑行业对气候变化影响巨大，其碳排放量占全球总排放量的39%。虽然人们对这一问题的认识日益增强，但建筑物的减排进程仍然困难重重。其中一个主要障碍是过度依赖计算工具，这些工具需要复杂的模型、精确的数据和庞大的数据库支持，而这些数据和数据库往往需要付费才能获取。结果是，等到碳排放量计算结果出来的时候，通常已经错过了调整设计方案的最佳时机。这种追求精确的做法并没有带来更快速或更彻底的减碳效果；事实上，过于注重数据报告反而分散了设计师的注意力，让他们忽视了采取切实有效的行动。此外，各国在相关法规和标准方面存在差异，几乎不可能公平公正地对不同项目的碳排放量进行对比。

The building industry plays a major role in climate change, accounting for 39% of global carbon emissions. Although awareness is growing, reducing embodied carbon is still difficult. One of the many hurdles in this process is the overreliance on calculation tools that require detailed models, precise data, and complex databases that are often hidden behind a paywall. As a result, by the time embodied carbon calculations are complete, the opportunity to change the design has often passed. This push for precision has not led to faster or deeper decarbonisation; in fact, a focus on reporting has seemingly distracted designers from taking meaningful action. On top of that, regulations and standards vary between countries, making honest carbon comparisons between projects nearly impossible.

建筑行业产生的碳排放量占全球总排放量的39%

如果没有共同的语言，就很难判断哪些方法有效，更难以取得进展。为了应对这一挑战，MVRDV开发了CarbonSpace，旨在为设计师提供一个实用且透明的工具。这项工具并非专注于设计后期阶段的详细碳排放计算，而是从最初的草图阶段就开始应用，即使是使用粗略的输入数据或简单的经验法则，也能立即反馈设计方案对碳排放的影响。

Without a common language, it is hard to know what works, and even harder to make progress. In response to this challenge, MVRDV developed CarbonSpace as a practical and transparent tool for designers. Rather than focusing on detailed carbon calculations late in the design process, the tool is built to work from the “napkin sketch” stage, using rough input data or even simple rules of thumb to give immediate feedback on the carbon consequences of design choices.

应用 CarbonSpace 从概念草图阶段开始计算碳排放量

因此，它并非一个验证工具，而是一个设计决策辅助工具。“CarbonSpace 本身无法解决气候危机，但它能够帮助建筑师从一开始就将碳排放纳入设计考量，从而做出更明智的决策。” MVRDV NEXT 负责人 Sanne van der Burgh 解释道。“我们希望让设计师们有信心在缺乏完美数据的情况下也能采取行动。更重要的是，我们希望建立一个关于碳排放的通用语言体系，这样我们就能在行业内进行合作、相互学习，并做出更优的决策。”

As such, it is not a validation tool, but a decision-support tool: “CarbonSpace won’t solve the climate crisis on its own. But it will help architects design with carbon from day one and make informed decisions”, explains Sanne van der Burgh, head of MVRDV NEXT. “We want to give designers the confidence to act without waiting for perfect data. More importantly, we want to create a shared language for carbon, so we can collaborate, learn from each other, and make better decisions as an industry.”

CarbonSpace 将项目数据链接到国际碳排放数据库中，同时 预设了常用建筑构件、材料和结构类型的数据库

CarbonSpace 将建筑面积、立面展开面积以及基础体积等数据输入到整合后的国际碳排放数据库中，该数据库基于德国联邦政府维护下的精简版开源数据库 Ökobaudat。工具还预设了常用建筑构件、材料和结构类型的数据库，能够快速估算各种类型的建筑项目的碳排放量。通过这种方法，CarbonSpace 帮助设计团队了解不同的系统、结构和材料如何影响同一个项目的碳排放。对于MVRDV而言，这一过程促使我们将轻量化设计与建造作为降低碳排放的主要策略。此外，这项工具还能帮助我们更好地掌控设计过程，及时发现设计方案在不断调整过程中可能出现的与最初可持续发展目标相悖的情况。

CarbonSpace links quantity inputs such as areas of floor and façade or the volume of a building’s foundation to a streamlined, internationally representative carbon database based on a simplified version of the open-source Ökobaudat database maintained by the German Federal Government. The tool also includes pre-set libraries of common components, materials, and detail build-ups, allowing for faster estimations across a wide range of project types. With this approach, CarbonSpace helps design teams understand how different systems, structures, and materials affect a project’s embodied carbon. For MVRDV, this process has already driven a focus on low-weight designs as the primary factor influencing embodied carbon. It has also allowed the practice to steer projects through the design development, sounding the alarm when the design’s initial sustainable ambitions are threatened by a series of compromises.

可视化的碳数据

用户可以通过CarbonSpace 提供的开放式应用程序编程接口（API）进一步提升使用体验，该接口允许用户将CarbonSpace 链接到Rhino、Revit等软件，或将数据导入到Microsoft Power BI 等工具中，从而创建有用的数据可视化图表。例如，MVRDV 就利用这一功能创建了一个数据表，对比MVRDV 所有项目的碳排放量，并追踪所有项目在实现2030年气候目标方面的进展情况。其他用户也可以根据自身需求，创建符合各自组织特定需求的个性化数据表。

Users can further amplify the power of CarbonSpace thanks to an openly accessible API, which allows users to connect the tool to Rhino, Revit, or to deliver data to Microsoft’s Power BI tool, creating useful data visualisations. In the case of MVRDV, the latter capability was used to create a dashboard comparing the carbon emissions of all the firm’s projects, and tracking the progress of the entire portfolio towards the 2030 climate targets. In a similar way, other users will be able to create their own dashboards that meet their organisation’s specific needs.

追踪项目数据，提升设计品质

为了进一步扩大其影响力，MVRDV 决定将 CarbonSpace 平台向公众开放，并邀请行业内的合作伙伴共同使用、测试和改进这款工具。同时也再一次表达MVRDV 的核心理念：开放和协作对于有效的气候行动至关重要。免费开放使用还能鼓励更多人将他们的项目数据上传到“碳竞速”（Carbon Race）平台（一个公开的、可匿名参与的在线数据表），从而促进友好竞争，并实时追踪整个行业在低碳设计方面的进展。目前，该工具已由众多合作伙伴进行测试，包括建筑师、工程师、学术机构和可持续发展顾问等，并成为MVRDV与CTBUH新合作项目的重要组成部分。作为其全球可持续发展倡议的一部分，CTBUH将采用CarbonSpace平台，以支持对全球高层建筑项目进行公平、透明的比较和评估。

To further extend its impact, MVRDV has decided to make CarbonSpace publicly available and to invite partners across the industry to use, test, and improve the tool. This decision reflects a core belief that openness and collaboration are essential to meaningful climate action. Free access will also encourage more people to contribute their projects to the Carbon Race, a public, anonymised (and optional) dashboard to encourage friendly competition and keep track of the whole community’s progress towards low-carbon designs. The tool is already being used by a range of beta partners, including architects, engineers, academic institutions, and sustainability consultants, and is at the heart of a new partnership with CTBUH. As part of its global Sustainability Initiative, CTBUH is adopting CarbonSpace to support honest, cross-border comparisons of tall building projects.

支持企业ESG报告

“与MVRDV NEXT 的合作能够帮助世界高层建筑与都市人居学会（CTBUH）通过批判式的研究和对前沿创新技术的推广，塑造可持续城市发展的未来。”CTBUH 主席肖恩·米尔斯表示，“作为我们2026年可持续发展倡议计划的一部分，CarbonSpace 将帮助我们搭建一个协作平台，让建筑行业从业者、学术界人士和行业领袖汇聚一堂，交流建筑数据，参考高层建筑行业中的创新实践，从而提升自身项目的竞争力。”

“Our collaboration with MVRDV NEXT enables us to shape the future of sustainable urban development, through critical research and the dissemination of ground-breaking innovations”, says CTBUH chair Shonn Mills. “As part of our 2026 Sustainability Initiative Program, CarbonSpace will help facilitate a collaborative dashboard where professionals, academics, and industry leaders converge to exchange building data and benchmark their projects against innovative practices in the tall building industry.”

CarbonSpace 现已开放公测，公众可以免费使用。MVRDV鼓励行业内的所有专业人士使用这款工具，并提出宝贵意见，共同推动它的优化和发展。MVRDV 希望通过集思广益和开放交流，实现更面向未来的设计：不仅美观实用，而且更轻盈、更智能、更低碳。

CarbonSpace is now available in public beta and free to use. MVRDV encourages professionals from across the industry to explore the tool, give feedback, and contribute to its ongoing evolution. Through collective knowledge and open exchange, the practice hopes to support a future in which design is not only beautiful and functional, but also lighter, smarter, and lower in carbon.
