Carbon Footprinting for the Construction Industry.
Construction Footprinter is a new carbon footprint analysis and accounting tool specifically developed to meet the demands of construction sector companies in reducing their carbon footprint.
Carbon footprinting is a measure of the emissions generated in carrying out an activity. It is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.
Like any other industry sector, the construction industry is affected by the UK government’s commitment to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 60% by 2050 from 1990 levels. The influential Stern report published in 2006 calls for a 60-80% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2050.
Construction Footprinter can help you reduce the carbon footprint of your construction project.
