Carbon Information Technologies & AI

Carbon accounting for a modular room unit: material-related and process-related carbon feed a carbon emission calculation, with results assigned to building components and reported from material, product and process perspectives

Develop a carbon question-answering system for modular construction that addresses the information needs of different stakeholders through natural language interaction. Provide traceable answers from product, material, and process perspectives to support design and manufacturing decisions and identify opportunities to reduce emissions.

Intelligent carbon emission management for modular integrated construction across manufacture, transport and on-site assembly: assess with BIM, LLM agents and emission factor matching for an item-level carbon inventory; monitor production with video, RFID and multimodal AI for verified activity records; plan with Plan–Execute–Validate agents checking carbon, cost and schedule for traceable reduction plans

Develop a large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent framework for intelligent carbon emission management in Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), covering carbon assessment, production monitoring, and reduction planning. Integrate project documents, factory observations, and strategy evidence to generate item-level carbon inventories, verified activity records, and traceable reduction plans that balance carbon, cost, and schedule.
