EPiC Grasshopper enables a full integration of the EPiC Database (www.epicdatabase.com.au) of hybrid embodied environmental flows coefficients for construction materials into grasshopper.

You can select any EPiC material from the EPiC database or create your own EPiC Custom Material and combine them into a range of EPiC assemblies (linear, surface, volumetric and item-based). These EPiC assemblies can combined into EPiC Built Assets too. Use the advanced EPiC Analysis component to visualise the results of your life cycle embodied energy, embodied water or embodied greenhouse gas emissions (also wrongly known as embodied carbon) analysis. You can breakdown results by material, by assembly, by total, or by material and assembly. The EPiC Analysis component also enables you to export results to a csv.
