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.
