How CarbonScore
Works
CarbonScore can be used in a number of different ways by a broad range of stakeholders
Developers
In support of strategic planning, asset management, marketing and environmental performance evaluation of existing, current and future projects.
Financial Institutions
Provides an independently verified & cost-effective Sustainable Performance Target (SPT) assessment in support of green financing products and services.
Public Authorities
Presents a powerful off-the-shelf tool that aligns with LCC reporting requirements, GIS integration and other comparable public sector planning and regulatory initiatives.
Building Owners /
Facilities Managers
Identify pathways for improved performance and maximize returns from efficient building operations.
Building Professionals
Reporting protocols are designed to align with and compliment established green building rating tools.
Residents’ Associations & Community Organisations
Promote organizational values and provide amenity to stakeholders via enhanced environmental reporting.
Individual Home Owners / Businesses
Track & understand individual carbon footprints and contribute to ESG reporting frameworks.
- Operational Carbon primarily from electricity consumption, but also including water supply, wastewater treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste during building occupancy;
- Embodied Carbon associated with the materials, manufacturing, transportation and construction processes needed to create and maintain a building across its lifecycle; and
- Reduced Emissions
via enhanced energy efficiency, on-site renewable energy
generation and procurement of off-site renewable energy from
the grid
(eg. renewable energy certificates).
