There's an exciting, brand new BUILDING TECHNOLOGY aimed at reducing a building's carbon footprint. Does it have applications for residential homes? We think so. The BUILDING TECHNOLOGY is called EMMA (Environmental Management Solution) and it was developed by Australia-based sustainability consultancy Knowledge Global. EMMA is an automated solution for monitoring, tracking and forecasting a building's carbon footprint. EMMA collects information about electricity use, human traffic, weather forecasts, waste and even air quality to build a daily snapshot of a building's carbon footprint. EMMA then compares that snapshot against historical data to determine an "optimal forecast" for that day's carbon footprint. If the energy efficiency of the building deviates from the optimal forecast, ...
