Open Building Data Platform

Make net-zero whole life cycle (WLC) emissions buildings the new norm using GBDI’s open building data platform. Identify scalable strategies for embodied carbon reduction and removal, and improve building life cycle performance.

Get actionable insights and learn from best-in-class examples and emerging practice to set tangible targets and create effective policy.

Effective Policy
Develop and implement effective policy for improving life cycle climate performance of buildings in public and private portfolios.
Reduced Emissions
Dynamically assess buildings and portfolios using prospective LCA methods to effectively manage emission reduction.
Open Data
Be part of the global exchange of detailed, high-quality WLC data on buildings across platforms, thanks to the openBDF format.
