Operational Emissions
Operational CO₂ emissions derive primarily from building energy consumption including for heating, cooling and other energy requirements, with costs for improving energy efficiency offset by lower operational costs.
Embodied Emissions
Embodied CO₂ emissions are associated with the production, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of the construction materials across the building lifecycle.
District
Integrated district solutions harness synergies between buildings and within communities to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO₂ emissions at the urban scale.
