The Carbon Lite software tool will work alongside and inform the design process in the generation of low carbon buildings with optimum occupancy environments. The tool is innovative and will fill a market gap by responding to all stages of the design process including the inception and site analysis stage ensuring that low carbon principles are embraced right at the start of the project. It will be easy to use and will provide answers and guidance quickly and intuitively. Carbon Lite centres around three inter-dependant software packages: firstly a 'Strategy Wizard' is used to consider site analysis, followed by a sketch design package for assessing different design options. The third package comprises a 'Carbon Mixing Desk' that aids analysis of the technical and cost benefits of incorporating renewables into the design. It is vital to the success of Carbon Lite that effective dataflow is established between the user and the three packages; Cardiff University will define, develop and test this 'Data Structure'. In addition, Cardiff University, utilising its background and experience in sustainable design, will aid in the population of the system with design exemplars, and in the testing of the product.

Carbon Lite软件工具将与设计过程一起工作，并为设计过程提供信息，以生成具有最佳居住环境的低碳建筑。该工具具有创新性，将通过响应设计过程的所有阶段（包括初始和现场分析阶段）来填补市场空白，确保在项目开始时就采用低碳原则。它将易于使用，并将提供快速和直观的答案和指导。Carbon Lite围绕三个相互依赖的软件包展开：首先是“策略向导”，用于考虑场地分析，其次是草图设计包，用于评估不同的设计选项。第三个包包括一个“碳混合台”，帮助分析将可再生能源纳入设计的技术和成本效益。这是至关重要的碳建兴的成功，有效的沟通是建立在用户和三个包;卡迪夫大学将定义，开发和测试这个“数据结构”。此外，卡迪夫大学利用其在可持续设计方面的背景和经验，将帮助该系统的人口与设计范例，并在产品的测试。
