Misc Steel Embodied Carbon and Getting Started with Tracking EC

Hello! I work for a structural engineering firm and we are just getting started with internally tracking our Embodied Carbon on our projects. I am curious how most firms are tracking misc steel on their projects and if its just in excel spreadsheets? I know in revit can specify rebar (but would have to get very specific) but curious if there is other resources or ideas on how other firms are doing this?

Additionally any advice on free embodied carbon plugins for Revit to track the main building steel, concrete, and wood components would be great. Right now I am just using SE2050s calculator but curious if free plugins to automate with revit.

Daniella - have you tried tracking in the EC3 Tool? They have a Revit plug in and it can provide you with a baseline for your components. www.buildingtransparency.org. - Laura

We Typically do not model misc steel in the revit so there is no way to track that through Tally or EC3. W usually consider 3% of tonnage to the actually steel tonnage.
