There are many ways you can reduce your building’s carbon balance, some which are easier to do than others. The first step is to claim your building and provide additional data that will help narrow down the range of estimated emissions for your building. This includes indicating whether the building uses low-carbon structural materials which will reduce your embodied carbon. You can reduce your operational carbon by making energy efficiency upgrades and/or participating in your local utility’s renewable energy purchase program. Finally, you can quickly reduce your remaining carbon balance by purchasing high-quality carbon offsets available in our platform.
If you’re an employee, you can always follow your company’s buildings to track their progress. You can also reach out to us to contribute data on the buildings (though the owner will need to confirm it for it to be published on the map).
You can also let people know about us on social media, and tag us (@carbon_title on Twitter, @CarbonTitle on LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram). Please help us get the word out and accelerate our collective progress towards decarbonization!
If you’re a renter, you can always follow the building to track its progress. You can also reach out to us to contribute data on the building (though the owner will need to confirm it for it to be published on the map).

You can share your building’s carbon story with anyone by sending them the link to your building’s carbon title. They can easily follow your building within their own Carbon Title account.

We believe that we must all act together to decarbonize our built environment. If every building in the US were to reduce their CO2 emissions by 1 tCO2 (which is very little for even a house), it would be the equivalent of removing 27M cars from the road annually!
We can only achieve the reductions we need if we can measure our progress publicly. By claiming your building and providing additional data, you are helping us calculate a more accurate carbon balance and provide a more accurate picture of all of our aggregate emissions—data that is increasingly relied upon by several groups.
Additionally, if you rent out your building, studies show that green buildings lease up faster and command higher rents.
When you claim your building, you confirm details which allow us to express the building’s CO2 emissions as a number instead of a range. It also gives you the opportunity to share additional information about the building to further increase accuracy.
Once you claim your building and set up an account with Carbon Title, you will be able to purchase several high-quality carbon credits within the platform. Once you purchase credits, you can apply them to any building in your portfolio as an offset, thus reducing the carbon balance of that building.
If you have credits you have purchased elsewhere, please contact us to get them added to your building.
Carbon Title has a group of vetted, high-quality carbon credits you can purchase within the platform to offset your emissions. You can access these after you have claimed a building and created an account.
