It’s still artificial: Why carbon management still relies on humanity
Artificial intelligence is changing the way construction works. It can analyse more data, spot patterns faster and automate repetitive tasks, which matters on projects that generate huge volumes of information. Making sense of that information quickly is becoming essential if we are going to reduce embodied carbon in a meaningful way. But there is one word in AI that is easy to overlook: artificial.
CarbonCentric: A New Digital Home for Smarter Carbon Management
In construction, carbon data has too often been treated as something to review after the fact - measured retrospectively, reported periodically and acted on too late to influence the decisions that matter most.
But as expectations around whole-life carbon continue to grow, project teams need more than static assessments and spreadsheet-based workflows. They need live insight, earlier visibility and better tools to turn data into action.
CarbonCentric v2: A smarter, scalable future for carbon management
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.
Why EC3 Matters: Unlocking Real Carbon Reduction in Construction
Despite its importance, embodied carbon has historically been difficult to measure, compare, and reduce in a meaningful way. The desire across the industry for this level of carbon management, is arguably a post- Covid pandemic global action. This is where EC3 and management tools like CarbonCentric, can change everything.
Turning Data into Decarbonisation: How Real-Time Insights Are Changing Construction
In an industry long plagued by fragmented data, delayed decisions and missed opportunities, Mainer Associates wanted to create a new tool designed to shift the entire dynamic of carbon management. Enter CarbonCentric - a field-proven, consultant-designed app solution, built to bring real-time management of up-front carbon into the heart of construction and built-environment delivery.
How can you optimise your upfront carbon emissions?
Only by accurately measuring and recording carbon emissions can the industry work to meet net zero goals to confront this planet-wide challenge and developing and deploying this methodology, is crucial for supporting the built environment sector and the world in their aim to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050.
