Timber Computer

About

Timber Computer is an open-source project that helps understand the potential carbon impact of a future design by configuring a reference building.

The project was made possible by the Prototype Fund and was funded through the Federal Ministry of Education and Research from October 2021 until February 2022. Read more on the Prototype Fund's Demo Week 10 Website (in German).
