BuiltCold enables governments and enterprises to deliver low-carbon programs that make construction cleaner, faster and more affordable.
Often called Buy Clean or green public procurement, these programs are policies that mandate or incentivize the use of lower-carbon construction materials. The goal is to accelerate adoption of cleaner materials and reduce embodied carbon across the built environment.
An agency requires lower-carbon materials on the buildings, roads, bridges and transit it funds. Buy Clean and DOT materials programs work this way.
A jurisdiction rewards projects that meet a carbon target instead of requiring it. The reward can be a tax exemption, a density bonus, expedited permitting or a rebate.
A company sets limits on its own projects to meet a climate pledge, prepare for Scope 3 accounting or get ahead of policy.
A program answers three questions: which projects and materials it covers, what carbon performance it requires, and how a project proves it. The proof is usually an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), the manufacturer's published carbon data for a product, though some programs accept other evidence. How a project proves it is the compliance pathway. Four cover nearly every program in use, and BuiltCold supports all four.
EPD-verified, material-level GWP limits for covered products.
Project-level carbon caps with flexibility in how teams comply.
Percent reduction against a modeled baseline across all materials and systems.
Embodied carbon reduction through retained structure and recycled or salvaged materials.
For who need to , this is the place to start.
Program owners set the requirements. Project teams and suppliers meet them. Each side gets tools for its part of the work, and both see the same data.
Run a program without building custom tools.
Internal teams and outside partners work in the same program.
Requirements become a running program in weeks rather than months.
Workflows that help owners and project teams cut emissions.
Know what every program requires at every stage of a project.
Get your team and contractors up to speed on requirements.
Search EPDs and product data instead of chasing them down.
Spend less time on compliance overhead and more on reductions.
Whether you are writing a public program, setting one up for your company or reporting into one, the first step is a short conversation.
