Steps

  1. Create an EC3 account at buildingtransparency.org and confirm your account tier — API access requires at least a Professional account with a business email, per docs.buildingtransparency.org/ec3/getting-started.
  2. If affiliated with a verified academic/nonprofit organization, complete your profile with an institutional email to get API access activated automatically at no cost.
  3. Once approved, retrieve your API key from Settings → API & Integrations inside the EC3 app, and reference the endpoint docs at docs.buildingtransparency.org/ec3/api-and-integrations.
  4. Start with the free tier for exploration/feasibility testing, noting it's rate-limited; for higher-volume or commercial production use, contact apisupport@buildingtransparency.org for paid access.
  5. Query concrete-specific EPD records (by plant, mix design, or GWP value) to support low-carbon mix procurement or EC3-based compliance reporting.
