## Description

You can use this MCP to take the guesswork out of green building. Instead of manually comparing spreadsheets, you let your AI client handle the heavy lifting of material analysis. It pulls from a catalog of renovation options and runs the numbers on how different materials stack up against your specific project goals. Whether you need to prioritize low waste or keep costs under a certain threshold, the tool calculates rankings that reflect those exact priorities. You can also run side-by-side comparisons to see how a specific material's durability or recycled content compares to another. It's a direct way to ensure your renovation choices actually meet your sustainability targets without spending hours on research.
