It’s impossible to reduce emissions from MEP systems if you don’t know where the carbon is hiding. As building standards tighten and sustainability mandates accelerate, MEP systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) are becoming a central battleground in the fight for carbon reduction. Yet for many construction and facilities teams, achieving net-zero emissions is a slow march filled with blind spots. You can’t decarbonize what you can’t see. And when timelines are tight, waiting weeks for a credible carbon impact assessment just doesn’t cut it.

Traditional methods of emissions analysis in construction are static, high-level, and too slow for today’s pace of decision-making. Lifecycle assessments (LCAs) and environmental product declarations (EPDs) are valuable but they are often outdated, product-specific, and difficult to scale across the hundreds of components that make up a typical MEP system.
Worse, these tools don’t help you simulate alternatives. What if you swapped that copper pipe for PEX? What happens to embedded carbon if you source switchgear from a different supplier? Can you lower emissions and costs by changing where HVAC components are manufactured?
Without fast, granular data, these questions remain unanswered and opportunities for emissions reduction get lost in the rush to meet project deadlines.
Enter Muir: the AI-driven Product Intelligence Platform that brings speed, clarity, and carbon insight to complex product decisions. Muir enables you to break down an MEP system into its raw materials and manufacturing processes, map supply chain flows, and model both cost and carbon across any scenario.
Unlike traditional LCAs, Muir doesn’t rely on static databases. It dynamically builds a synthetic bill of materials (BoM) using simple procurement descriptions or engineering inputs then uses this to calculate emissions, costs, and risks. It's scalable across an entire portfolio and fast enough to keep pace with project timelines.
1. Generate a Full Emissions Profile From Minimal Input
Just describe the MEP component and Muir constructs a detailed synthetic BoM. This includes the raw materials, manufacturing steps, and trade routes involved. Then it calculates total emissions (including embedded carbon) using up-to-date material and energy datasets.
2. Simulate Design or Sourcing Alternatives Instantly
Want to see what happens if you switch to a lower-carbon material? Change a supplier? Move production to a closer region? Muir’s scenario modeling lets you simulate the carbon and cost impact of each change without rebuilding your models from scratch.
3. Identify Cost-Effective Carbon Reduction Paths
Muir’s Reduction Engine scores every design or sourcing alternative based on both cost impact and implementation difficulty. This means you don’t just find the greenest option, you find the one that delivers carbon reduction with the least friction to adopt. It’s decarbonization, prioritized.
4. Align Cost and Sustainability Goals
With Muir, cost and emissions are not trade-offs. By modeling both simultaneously, you can identify options that reduce emissions and lower total cost of ownership or at least quantify the premium for greener choices, empowering better-informed decisions.
5. Provide Defensible Data for Stakeholders
From clients demanding sustainable builds to internal procurement and design teams, Muir equips you with credible, granular data to back up your decisions. No more relying on supplier brochures or generic averages, now you have the specifics.
In today’s fast-paced environment, if you're waiting for a consultant to run an emissions model, you’re already behind. The tools exist to assess carbon and cost in real time, at the component level, across an entire MEP system, and at scale.
Muir is already helping global manufacturers and sourcing teams cut costs and emissions simultaneously. Now it's time to bring that intelligence to your MEP decisions. Whether you're in design, sourcing, or sustainability, you don’t have to choose between speed and impact.
