INTRODUCING

Carbon Title Explorer

See your carbon balance and get to know the carbon impact of the buildings around you.

A carbon title is like a building’s nutrition label, conveying a snapshot of its carbon footprint and the factors that reduce its emissions.

Claim and follow.

You can claim the buildings you own, as a potential tenant, developer, or informed citizen.

Take action.

Make informed decisions about where you work, live, eat, and shop — and influence those who can affect a building’s carbon emissions. Document how you’ve reduced your own building’s emissions (coming soon). Share this resource to help others take action, too!

How do carbon emissions vary across buildings?

The materials in your building, its location, how it uses energy, and how much of that energy comes from renewable sources all have a huge impact on its carbon footprint.Our examples below illustrate the impact of different structural materials and local variations–in materials and the energy grid–on the CO2 emissions per square foot and for the whole building.

Why does a building's carbon footprint matter?

If we remove just one ton of carbon dioxide (1 tCO2) from every building in the United States, that’s equivalent to taking 27M+ cars off the road for a year.
