Assessing Brick & Mortar Carbon Footprints

Buildings generate nearly 40% of annual CO2 emissions. [1]  Despite being the #1 contributor to greenhouse and carbon emissions, the built environment is often overlooked as a significant contributor. In this segment of The Great Repricing, Jeff speaks with John Williams of Autocase about streamlining the decarbonization of the built environment by using cloud-based computing to automate lifecycle costs, carbon analysis, and cost benefits for specific buildings.

What historically took months and thousands of dollars to measure can now be automated at a fraction of the cost through Autocase’s software. This scientific process allows for more transparency and better building design to reach net-zero commitments and address society’s need for healthier living spaces along with commercial resilience.
