YouTube Description
as posted by the channelConcrete and steel create a lot of buildings--a lot of CO2, too. Now, new EU regulations require builders and developers to disclose just how dirty their building materials are. Many contractors don’t have a clue. Enter Lisa Oberaigner. She’s the cofounder of Emidat--a software start-up that helps manufacturers measure--and reduce--the environmental harm of building materials. To do so, Oberaigner measures the carbon emitted from creating the building materials, and next identifies how and where in the supply chain a manufacturer can reduce it. Her software uses AI to quickly and accurately create these reports. “What we offer today is a platform where the manufacturer can automatically feed in this data from their systems, then the declarations are autogenerated,” she said. “It shortens the time from roughly a year to a week.”
