Problem
Calculating upfront carbon emissions for residential building portfolios is complex and time-consuming, particularly for organizations without dedicated sustainability expertise. This difficulty hinders the development of accurate emissions baselines and the implementation of effective reduction strategies required for mandatory ESG reporting.
Solution
CarbonTrace offers a digital platform that automates the measurement of upfront carbon emissions from residential energy certificates, specifically designed for portfolio builders. By leveraging AI and proprietary algorithms, the platform bypasses the need for manual data entry or Bill of Quantities, providing a frictionless data gathering process. It delivers nationally consistent carbon measurements, enabling companies to establish emissions starting points, benchmark portfolio performance against industry data, and generate audit-ready reports for Scope 3 reporting obligations. The system allows for toggling between different emissions factor databases and comparing individual home performance against a large dataset of over one million NatHERS certificates.
Target Audience
The platform is designed for residential portfolio builders and progressive companies seeking to meet future ESG commitments and comply with mandatory reporting requirements.
