iCIM is an everyday design tool that facilitates carbon assessment by supporting designers and informing their decisions throughout the building lifecycle. It leads towards zero carbon and low impact building by enabling :a) The analysis of carbon embodiment and building modelling data from mainstream design and specification tools. For example, it has been shown to be fully interoperable with Autodesk’s Revit tool – taking in information from the model and returning it seamlessly.b) The development of a building lifecycle carbon signature at any stage with particular emphasis on the early, feasibility and pre-design stages. The tools are available to designers, contractors and owners through fully interactive 3D, tables and charts in a web interface.c) Carbon costing of any construction form, removing the constraints of current methods which only support pre-defined construction assemblies.d) Carbon and capital cost comparison.The tool demonstrates the impact of key decisions and allows them to explore alternatives and determine which decisions drive low impact design.

iCIM是一种日常设计工具，通过支持设计师并在整个建筑生命周期中为他们的决策提供信息，促进碳评估。它通过以下方式实现零碳和低影响建筑：a）来自主流设计和规范工具的碳体现和建筑建模数据的分析。例如，它已被证明与Autodesk的Revit工具完全互操作-从模型中获取信息并无缝返回。B）在任何阶段开发建筑生命周期碳签名，特别强调早期、可行性和预设计阶段。该工具可通过Web界面中的完全交互式3D、表格和图表供设计师、承包商和业主使用。c）任何建筑形式的碳成本计算，消除了仅支持预定义建筑组件的当前方法的限制。d）碳和资本成本比较该工具展示了关键决策的影响，并允许他们探索替代方案，并确定哪些决策推动低影响设计。
