Halowerk Materials LCA Carbon Calculator
x402
Halowerk Materials LCA Carbon Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from prop.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).
Calculates partial embodied-carbon (kgCO2e) for a list of construction materials by multiplying waste-adjusted installed quantities by production emission factors and adding tonne-kilometre transport emissions.

How this service works
Multiplies installed quantities by supplied waste-adjusted production factors and adds tonne-kilometre transport factors. It reports a transparent partial embodied-carbon inventory only; it does not supply verified EPD data, include use/end-of-life stages unless represented by inputs, compare functional equivalence or constitute a certified life-cycle assessment.
Output
Returns a transparent partial embodied-carbon inventory: for each material, the waste-adjusted procurement mass, production emissions (kgCO2e), transport emissions (kgCO2e), and per-material total; plus a grand total across all materials. Does not include use-phase or end-of-life stages, verified EPD data, or functional-equivalence comparisons.
Example use cases
Residential build carbon inventory
“I need the partial embodied carbon for my house build — 8000 kg of ready-mix concrete with 5% waste, production factor 0.159 kgCO2e/kg, transported 40 km at 0.062 kgCO2e/tonne-km; and 600 kg of timber with 10% waste, production factor 0.46 kgCO2e/kg, transported 200 km at 0.062 kgCO2e/tonne-km.”
Comparing two structural materials
“Can you compute the embodied carbon for two materials side by side: 2000 kg of cross-laminated timber (waste 0.08, production 0.46 kgCO2e/kg, 300 km at 0.05 kgCO2e/tonne-km) versus 2000 kg of reinforced concrete (waste 0.04, production 0.18 kgCO2e/kg, 30 km at 0.07 kgCO2e/tonne-km)?”
Whole-project bill of materials carbon
“Run the embodied carbon calculation for my commercial fit-out bill of materials: 12000 kg concrete at 0.159 kgCO2e/kg with 4% waste and 60 km transport at 0.062 kgCO2e/tonne-km; 3000 kg steel at 1.46 kgCO2e/kg with 2% waste and 150 km transport at 0.062 kgCO2e/tonne-km; and 500 kg insulation at 3.5 kgCO2e/kg with 15% waste and 80 km transport at 0.04 kgCO2e/tonne-km.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://prop.halowerk.com/v1/materials-lcaWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, transparent, line-by-line embodied-carbon computation for a list of construction materials where you already have production emission factors and transport details. It is ideal for bill-of-materials carbon summaries in early-stage design, contractor submissions, or green-building reporting workflows. Prefer it over full LCA platforms when you do not need certified EPD data, use-phase emissions, or end-of-life stages, and when you want deterministic, auditable arithmetic rather than a black-box result.
Side effects
- Missing required fields (material_id, installed_mass_kg, waste_fraction, production_factor_kgco2e_per_kg, transport_distance_km, transport_factor_kgco2e_per_tonne_km) returns a validation error
- waste_fraction >= 1.0 is rejected (maximum 0.99)
- Empty materials array or more than 10,000 items returns a schema validation error
- Negative transport factors or distances are rejected
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required response
