National Research Council Embodied Carbon Platform and Database Initiative

The City of Vancouver is seeking a partner to design, develop, and deploy a web‑based platform and a centralized embodied‑carbon database for construction projects across jurisdictions. The solution must streamline data collection, analysis, and quality‑control, support industry innovation, and provide accessible carbon‑accounting data to help identify cost‑effective construction practices. The National Research Council of Canada will lead the procurement process, with full documentation hosted on CanadaBuys. • Develop a cloud‑hosted web platform for embodied‑carbon data capture and reporting. • Create a centralized database that aggregates construction‑project carbon metrics and enables cross‑jurisdictional analysis. • Ensure the system supports data quality‑control, user access controls, and integration with existing construction‑industry tools. • Deliver documentation, training, and ongoing support for municipal and provincial stakeholders. • Align the platform with emerging carbon‑pricing and sustainability regulations.
