    Description

    Every project carries both a financial cost and carbon footprint. The decisions made during the initial phases of a project hold the most-significant influence on these factors. New trends and compliance and legal requirements also make it necessary to assess climate impact at an early phase of a project. The traditional way of counting everything together at the end of the project is no longer enough. So how can you make good decisions before you have the full picture? How can you weigh the impact of different options before all the design work is complete? This is best done by thinking in a new way about sustainability, data, and how to engage the customer. Sweco's new tool—Carbon Cost Compass (C3)—helps projects to clarify these issues and provide a sound basis for the client to achieve a good result.
