Building carbon footprint
Measure & reduce carbon footprint
Reduce your building's carbon footprint easily across all stages & achieve green building certification
What is building carbon footprint?
Building carbon footprint is the cumulative greenhouse gasses emitted during a building's life-cycle, encompassing both emissions from energy use (operational carbon) and materials (i.e. embodied carbon, capital carbon).
Understanding and managing these emissions is crucial for making informed, sustainable decisions in construction projects. This approach is increasingly demanded by clients, regulatory bodies, and green building certification programs.
