Businesses can bridge action and sustainability utilising technology and by deploying a three-step path to net-zero buildings :
• Strategise Assess the sustainability status of the company and its buildings and develop a decarbonisation roadmap to implement technology , identify gaps and model retrofit scenarios for net-zero action
• Digitise Integrate the necessary digital solutions in buildings to track embodied carbon , measure energy usage and analyse energy / carbon efficiency
• Decarbonise Take actions like reducing the amount of carbon the business emits , electrifying business operations like transport , infrastructure and more , and installing the use of on-site renewables for direct , clean energy distribution to the building .
