Learn about the problems of carbon emissions in the built environment, and how ViridiPath is working to help you track and reduce carbon in your building projects, to improve the effects of climate change and for a sustainable future.

In the era of climate change and sustainability, the construction industry faces significant pressure to reduce its environmental impact. One crucial aspect of this is understanding and managing the carbon footprint of buildings throughout their entire life cycle. Whole life carbon (WLC) tracking is emerging as a vital practice in the construction sector, providing insights that drive more sustainable decision-making. Here’s why tracking whole life carbon data throughout a building project is crucial.
In the realm of corporate sustainability, transparency and accountability are key to mitigating climate change impacts. While direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased electricity (Scope 2) have traditionally garnered the most attention, the role of Scope 3 emissions in a company’s carbon footprint is coming to the fore. Scope 3 emissions, or value chain emissions, often represent the largest portion of an organisation’s greenhouse gas inventory, making their tracking and management crucial for true environmental stewardship.
In the architectural and building industry’s race toward sustainability, the role of technology in facilitating eco-friendly and cost-effective construction practices has never been more critical. ViridiPath’s Carbon Tracking software stands at the forefront of this innovation, offering a revolutionary approach to designing and executing construction projects that are as environmentally responsible as they are financially viable. In this article, we’ll explore how our software can reshape the construction landscape by enabling more efficient, low-carbon building projects.
In the world of building and construction, the goals of saving money and reducing carbon emissions can often seem at odds. However, the advent of carbon tracking Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions presents a unique opportunity to align economic incentives with environmental stewardship. Let’s explore how this innovative technology is helping developers, architects, and specifiers achieve sustainable development, both profitably and responsibly. Unveiling the Cost of Carbon The financial and environmental costs of carbon emissions in the built environment are becoming impossible to ignore.
