Today, the carbon dioxide levels are at a record high. Carbon emissions continue to pose a major threat to the environment and human health. As a result, greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, causing drastic climate changes and raising the earth’s average temperature. Other damaging effects of this phenomenon include food supply disruptions, increased wildfires, and air pollution.

According to C2ES, the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are electricity and heat (31%). As the global population grows alongside the need for new buildings, the world will grow warmer at a rapid pace unless we do something.

The EU aims to be carbon-neutral by 2050, but that plan was effectively derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. To get back on track, all new buildings and 20% of the existing ones must adopt energy saving solutions by 2030.

The Benefits of Zero Emissions Buildings

It goes without saying that zero-emissions buildings have significant effects on the environment. At the global level, they help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote better life quality by improving air and water quality, conversing natural resources, and protecting biodiversity.

Zero-emissions buildings also offer various financial benefits for businesses and households. You get to save money on utilities and operating costs, lower construction costs and increase the property’s value.

In the economy and social sectors, green buildings help create job openings and improve work performance, resulting in better productivity and higher revenue rates.

Smart Energy Solutions by EP&T Global

EP&T Global is a world-leading building optimisation company specialising in smart energy solutions. Combining cutting-edge technology with the expertise of our experts, we offer foolproof energy-saving solutions to help building owners achieve optimal building energy efficiency.

We have pioneered and refined the technology over the last 25 years to extract, analyse and report IoT data to reduce building energy use and carbon emissions. By using processed data taken directly from the site, we are able to design actionable plans for maximum results.

The EDGE Platform is the jewel of EP&T Global building optimisation company. Our revolutionary EDGE technology leverages machine learning with real-time IoT data to identify opportunities for reducing energy consumption within your building.

The EDGE Intelligent System collects, processes, analyses, visualises, and interprets billions of sets of data per year to optimise your building’s environmental performance 24/7. The EDGE algorithm monitors data from various sources at the site and gives visibility to existing energy and water wastage along with their origins. We use said data to design water monitoring solutions and Energy Saving Solutions fully catered to your property’s characteristics and conditions.

Additionally, EDGE’s Fault Diagnostic Detection feature can identify equipment faults in your building and recommend equipment maintenance when necessary. This allows you to reduce occupier complaints and plant breakdowns as well as improve the property’s comfort levels.

Since 2015, our technology and services have played a significant role in reducing 340,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. We have assisted numerous companies in 18 countries in moving towards green and sustainable operations – and we would love to have you join our long list of successful clients.
