CarbonCentric v2: A smarter, scalable future for carbon management

Feb 27

Mainer Associates is proud to announce the launch of CarbonCentric v2 - the next evolution of our industry-leading carbon management platform.

Developed in collaboration with main contractors and the supply chain, CarbonCentric was created with a clear mission: to deliver the most effective carbon management, tracking and reporting tools in construction

Version 2 represents a significant step forward - enhancing usability, scalability and data intelligence to meet the growing demands of net zero delivery across the built environment.

Proven Performance, Real Carbon Savings

CarbonCentric is not theoretical. It is field-proven.

Across completed projects including 11 & 12 Wellington Place, 4 Angel Square and Science Centre Dales Manor, the platform has achieved an average saving of:

These results demonstrate what is possible when carbon is actively managed during procurement and construction - not simply reported at the end.

By enabling earlier interventions, optioneering and transparent supply-chain engagement, CarbonCentric turns carbon targets into measurable outcomes.

What’s New in CarbonCentric v2?

A Clean, Modern Platform

v2 introduces a refreshed user interface with clearer metrics, simplified reporting and enhanced accessibility across multiple projects

Key upgrades include:

Multi-project dashboard access
Centralised Edit Project controls
Enhanced Work Package management
Full visibility of Entries across RIBA stages
Clearer, more intuitive Carbon Metrics dashboards

Users can now monitor:

Project and current performance
A1–A3 Embodied carbon breakdown
A4 Transport emissions
Site summary, energy consumption and waste
Full activity logs
Materials & EPD management
Comprehensive audit trails

This creates a true “golden thread” of carbon data from design through construction.

Integrated, Scalable and Future-Ready

CarbonCentric v2 has been rebuilt on a database-backed, cloud-agnostic architecture

This means:

Project complexity no longer creates overhead
The platform is fully cloud scalable
It can manage hundreds - and ultimately thousands - of live projects
It can deploy across GCP, AWS or Azure

We have also integrated EC3 and ICE EPD databases, enabling improved materials optioneering and faster validation of product-specific carbon data

CarbonCentric is no longer just a project tool. It is enterprise-ready SaaS for the construction industry.

Collaboration at the Core

CarbonCentric has always been built on partnership.

We continue to collaborate with developers, main contractors and the supply chain, jointly developing features that drive meaningful carbon reduction

Strategic deployment across major UK regeneration schemes demonstrates growing trust in the platform and its ability to scale with industry leaders

By embedding carbon accountability into procurement and construction workflows, CarbonCentric aligns commercial incentives with climate outcomes.

The Power of “Alpha Data”

A key pillar of v2 is our focus on what we call Alpha Data

This means clarity around:

Where the data lives
Who owns it
How it is validated
How easily it can move

In an era of increasing regulation, ESG scrutiny and AI advancement, data sovereignty matters. CarbonCentric ensures clients retain control of their carbon intelligence - transforming sustainability reporting into long-term asset value.

Looking Ahead: Energy, Circularity and Digital Twins

CarbonCentric v2 lays the foundation for future innovation.

Upcoming developments include:

In-use real-time energy monitoring
End-of-life lifecycle tracking
Materials Passports
Circularity scoring

We are also exploring Digital Twin functionality, enabling a live virtual replica of assets that continuously receives operational data for monitoring, simulation and optimisation

Additionally, planned MUIR AI integration will move the platform beyond validation - delivering actionable project insights and enhanced decision support

The Vision: Industry Standard Carbon Management

Our growth vision is clear:

To position CarbonCentric as the standard carbon-management SaaS platform for the construction industry

Every subscription funds further innovation - creating compounding impact across the sector and helping clients meet net zero targets faster and more confidently.

CarbonCentric v2 is not just an upgrade.
It is a step change in how carbon is managed, owned and reduced across the built environment.
