METHODOLOGY
</h4>
<span class="font-130">
STEP 1 - Cleaning and augmenting the <strong>dataset</strong>
</span>
<ul>
<li>
Carbon Leadership Forum - Embodied Carbon Benchmark study
</li>
<li>
Synthetic data based on structural principles (<strong>numpy</strong>,
<strong>pandas</strong>)
</li>
</ul>
<span class="font-130">
STEP 2 - Training the <strong>ML Model</strong>
</span>
<ul>
<li>
Training on <strong>Google Collab</strong> with <strong>Tensorflow</strong> and
<strong>Keras</strong>
</li>
<li>
Validating the model
</li>
</ul>
<span class="font-130">
STEP 3 - Link with <strong>Grasshopper</strong>
</span>
<ul>
<li>
Calling the ML model to predict for efficient workflow using <strong>Hops</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<span class="font-130">
STEP 4 - <strong>Rhino</strong> plug-in
</span>
<ul>
<li>
Developing a UI in Rhino for ease of use of the architects running on <strong>Flask</strong>
with a <strong>GH Hops server (C#, WPF)</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<span class="font-130">
STEP 5 - Mapping the <strong>workflow</strong>
</span>
<ul>
<li>
Developing a website with detailed documentation on the data developed and analysis
<strong>(HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap)</strong>
</li>
<li>
Open source project accessible via GitHub and webpage.
</li>
</ul>
