ClimateTrade offers an automated carbon footprint calculator for the construction sector, which can be used alone or implemented alongside the ClimateTrade API for carbon offsetting.
The calculator takes all construction processes into account (materials, machinery, transport, etc) along all phases of a building’ life cycle (manufacturing, construction, use and deconstruction). It facilitates environmental impact assessment in what is a notoriously hard-to-abate sector.
Once calculated, emissions can be offset via the ClimateTrade marketplace or via the ClimateTrade API: for instance, when a sector association decides to integrate the API to offer carbon footprint offsetting to its members.
