Optimizing Materials and Suppliers to Reduce CO2 Emissions
How can material and supplier selection optimize CO2 emissions and costs in standard building projects?
Challenge
Reitan Eiendom lacked visibility into the emissions and costs associated with material and supplier choices for their standard building projects, such as Rema 1000 stores. This limited their ability to make data-driven decisions to reduce carbon footprints and enhance sustainability.
Solution
Terravera collaborated with Reitan Eiendom to create a comprehensive digital model that integrates emission data from various suppliers. The model enables Reitan Eiendom to analyze the environmental and financial impact of different materials and suppliers, facilitating optimized decision-making for more sustainable and cost-effective building solutions.
Key steps
Supplier Data Mapping: Terravera mapped suppliers' available EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) for materials such as steel, concrete, and insulation.
Gap Analysis: Identified gaps in supplier data and contacted suppliers to obtain missing information.
Dynamic Modelling: Built a model that allows Reitan Eiendom to visualize emissions and costs for different material and supplier options in their standard buildings.
Scenario Testing: Enabled simulations to compare and select the most sustainable and cost-effective building solutions.
Impact with Terralight
The Terralight platform played a pivotal role in integrating supplier data and enabling real-time scenario analysis. Reitan Eiendom could visualize the environmental impact of materials and suppliers across their value chain, empowering strategic decision-making to reduce CO2 emissions and lifecycle costs in their projects.
“Terravera's collaboration provided us with actionable insights into material selection and supplier emissions, enabling us to take meaningful steps toward sustainable construction while optimizing costs.” - Jostein Breines
