Overview

Tally Climate Action Tool (tallyCAT) is a free and open-access Revit plug-in that supports the export of material quantities from Autodesk Revit to EC3 and allows synchronization between them. It is powered by the EC3 database and enables users to select materials based on project needs, assess embodied carbon reduction opportunities, and produce charts and reports from within Revit.

We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, which made creation of this tool possible.

Feedback

You may be familiar with EC3’s purple Report Bugs & Feedback button, but there is a second bug reporting path inside Revit, which helps us troubleshoot issues in the Revit environment. See Report a Bug section for details.
