For businesses of all shapes and sizes, understanding the CO² emissions of operations can be a difficult task.

In larger organisations and businesses, it will be a requirement as part of legislation such as the UK SECR reporting requirements which mean organisations over a certain size need to report on their environmental impact, including greenhouse emissions.

For smaller organisations, it could be part of a tendering process, or a requirement from a customer that drives the need to calculate CO² emissions, or it could even be part of a wider ESG initiative.

Measuring and reporting exact CO² emissions can be hard for the construction industry with multiple projects across sites and plant equipment and machinery moving around. The most basic approach will be taking each piece of equipment and assuming it is being used for several hours each day and using this to draw up an estimate of CO² emissions.

How OWL works to accurately measure CO² emissions

OWL geofencing devices are attached to plant equipment and machinery, the device will then record that the equipment is moving – therefore in use and emitting carbon, this tracking data is then available in real-time on the OWL portal.

How OWL gives you accurate CO² emissions

With OWL geofencing devices we can help you be more accurate with your reporting, helping you to measure CO² accurately and understand in more granular detail how and when equipment is being used on site.

You might, for example, be able to identify cost savings on equipment that isn’t being used and have this returned to your plant hire supplier or use more effectively on another site helping to optimise operations.

The Power of real-time plant data

With customisable dashboards and visual insights, you can make data driven decisions about plant equipment and machinery wherever you are.
