​In the realm of office design, where every decision—from wall placement to material selection—carries weighty implications for performance and cost, a new challenge has emerged: accounting for the carbon footprint of these choices. As sustainability goals become paramount, designers are now tasked with integrating carbon considerations into their creative process.​

Enter Gensler's innovative solution: a real-time carbon benchmarking tool that seamlessly integrates into their design workflow. This tool provides immediate feedback on the environmental impact of design decisions, empowering architects to make more informed, sustainable choices. By leveraging artificial intelligence and a vast dataset encompassing over 2 billion square feet of projects, Gensler is pioneering a new era of environmentally conscious design.​

But this isn't just about numbers and data. It's about transforming the design process into a collaborative, transparent experience where clients can visualize the impact of their preferences and align their organizational goals with sustainable outcomes. Gensler's Chief Digital Officer, Joseph Joseph, explains how technology is reshaping the way that their company approaches office design.
