Carbon Footprint Calculation in Construction

Diesel used by site equipment and construction/demolition waste are the two largest carbon items of construction projects. With NetZero E.S. you can calculate data per site and turn it into a report ready for investor or municipal requests.

Challenges This Sector Faces

Heavy Equipment & Generator Fuel

Diesel used by excavators, cranes and generators is the largest Scope 1 item of a construction site.

Steel & Material Use

The embodied emissions of steel reinforcement and other construction materials are a significant but frequently skipped part of Scope 3.

Construction & Demolition Waste

How much site waste is recycled directly determines the project's total environmental impact.

Multi-Site Tracking

For firms running several sites at once, collecting data centrally and consistently is a demanding operation.

How NetZero E.S. Helps

Sector Quick Start

The "Construction" template pre-fills heavy equipment diesel, forklift fuel, steel and waste fields with typical starting values.

Site-Based Facility Management

Define each construction site as a separate facility, track their data independently, then combine them into a single report.

Detailed Waste & Raw Material Calculators

Calculate steel/metal use and landfill/recycling waste rates separately, based on real quantities.

Report Ready for Investors and Authorities

Produce an ISO 14064 compliant, QR-verifiable PDF report and share it with your project stakeholders.
