Carbon Smart Material

Carbon Smart Material is a type of building material that can measure and respond to carbon dioxide levels in its environment, helping to keep indoor air cleaner and healthier during and after construction. In sustainable construction, these materials can store carbon from the air or release less carbon during their production, which helps lower the total carbon footprint of a building. Some Carbon Smart Materials can even change color or texture when they absorb carbon, giving designers a visual way to show how much carbon has been captured in a space.
