AI Carbon Analysis Digital Worker
Deploys a coordinated multi-agent AI system that autonomously analyzes BIM models, material specifications, and supply chain data to calculate embodied carbon with precision. The orchestrated agents identify hotspots, generate ESG scores, run what-if scenarios for design alternatives, and produce comprehensive sustainability reports with circular economy metrics and year-by-year carbon reduction pathways.

AI Agents
Specialized autonomous agents working in coordination
Orchestration Agent
Complex carbon analysis requires coordination across multiple specialized agents, managing task delegation, progress monitoring, and synthesizing results from parallel workstreams into coherent outputs.
Core Logic
Serves as the central coordinator managing the multi-agent workflow. Delegates tasks to specialized agents based on capabilities, monitors execution progress, handles inter-agent communication and handoffs, resolves conflicts through deliberation, and synthesizes individual agent outputs into unified analysis results. Maintains workflow state and ensures all agents complete their assigned tasks.
Data Analyst Agent
Raw project data from BIM models, spreadsheets, and databases requires extraction, transformation, and statistical analysis to identify patterns, anomalies, and carbon hotspots.
Core Logic
Parses BIM models and Excel data files to extract material quantities, element classifications, and spatial relationships. Performs statistical analysis to identify carbon-intensive elements, calculates embodied carbon using EPD databases, and generates visualizations showing carbon distribution across building systems. Uses tools for data extraction, carbon calculation, and chart generation.
Domain Expert Agent
Carbon analysis requires deep construction industry expertise to interpret data in context, benchmark against standards like PAS 2080, and generate recommendations aligned with water sector best practices.
Core Logic
Applies construction and sustainability domain knowledge to interpret analysis results. Benchmarks project carbon intensity against RICS NRM databases and industry percentiles. Identifies design optimization opportunities, evaluates alternative materials and methods, and generates recommendations considering UK Building Regulations, CDM 2015, and BREEAM requirements. Provides context-aware insights based on water infrastructure project experience.
Validator Agent
AI-generated analysis may contain hallucinations, calculation errors, or recommendations that violate regulations. Quality assurance is essential before delivering outputs to stakeholders.
Core Logic
Performs comprehensive validation of all agent outputs through guardrail checks including input/output validation, hallucination detection, schema enforcement, and regulatory compliance verification. Cross-references calculations against source data, validates recommendations against applicable standards, and ensures deliverables meet quality thresholds. Flags issues with confidence scores and requests corrections from originating agents.
Report Generator Agent
Stakeholders require professional, well-formatted deliverables including executive summaries, technical reports, and presentations suitable for client submissions and regulatory compliance.
Core Logic
Compiles validated analysis results into polished deliverables across multiple formats. Generates executive summaries with key findings and recommendations, technical PDF reports with detailed carbon breakdowns, Excel registers for data export, and PowerPoint presentations for stakeholder briefings. Creates visualizations including carbon pathway charts, ESG score cards, and supply chain carbon maps. Ensures consistent branding and professional formatting.
