Abstract :
Buildings are the largest contributor to the world´s carbon footprint, yet many building managers use only periodic audits to adjust resource consumption and carbon emission levels. The ECView framework leverages existing workflow systems to continually assess a building´s carbon emissions in relation to daily weather, commuting and travel patterns, and changing government regulations.
