REDUCEING CARBON FOOT-PRINT BY USING IT

Edition-1


Autodesk makes software that can analyze the environment impact & energy requirements of building minutely. Its office in San Francisco has a museum of sorts that display all the wonderful things software can do to improve the environment. You can calculate the environmental impact of products-chairs, shoes, aircraft engines, farm equipmenet at the design stage itself, and reduce it as much as possible.

Wile this does impact the total carbon foot print of industries, green buildings make a substantial difference to the carbon emissions in the world. Building contributes to about 25% of emissions globally & in India 35%.
