Carbon Footprint Calculator
#EnvironmentInourheartConstruction and Carbon Dioxide Emissions
What is the Carbon Footprint Calculator
In collaboration with the University of Perugia, MANINI has developed specific software with which it is possible to evaluate the CFP (Carbon Footprint) of each individual manufactured product and therefore quantify the CO2 emissions generated throughout the entire useful life of a prefabricated building, from the raw material procurement phases, to its production, assembly, up to its disposal (Life Cycle Assessment).
The application was created following the study of numerous real case histories and allows for the creation of a model capable of quantifying the CFP of a prefabricated structure as early as the design phase, with the aim of increasingly reducing CO2 emissions and meeting the UN Agenda Goals to achieve zero emissions by 2050.
Energy Efficiency of Prefabricated Buildings
The monitored emissions can be reduced through energy efficiency interventions of prefabricated structures (link to Biocement), the use of renewable sources (link to photovoltaic), of new materials production (link to GFRP Bar) or compensated through urban forestation initiatives (link to urban forestation).
The path towards more sustainable industrial and commercial construction is neither simple nor obstacle-free, but Manini Prefabbricati is seriously committed to pursuing it.
