Basic course in DuboCalc
DuboCalc is a valuable and widely used sustainable construction calculator that enables clients and contractors to quantify the environmental and climate impact of ground-, road- and water-related construction works. Throughout various phases of design and tendering, the tool contributes to responsibly designing and building structures.
A handy software tool, DuboCalc can be used for various purposes, including calculating the environmental costs of tenders, comparing design variants, and implementing reduction measures.
Who is the course intended for?
Contract managers, technical managers and policy officers working for clients; and tender managers, specialists and CSR/sustainability managers working for contractors.
