Easily manage 1 or 100+ construction projects within a secure SOC 2 Type 2 verified cloud-based interface.
Locus Sustainable Construction software reveals the actual carbon footprint of development projects
Locus Sustainable Construction cloud software tracks the Global Warming Potential (GWP) and quantities of every building material that is used, and then calculates the carbon footprint of a construction project or the cumulative impacts of entire development portfolios.
Armed with this clarity, construction and materials engineers, contractors, and sustainability leaders can account for plant or mix-specific carbon footprints and comply with low carbon targets set by the federal GSA and many state, county and local entities.
Sitting at the nexus of voluntary and regulated emissions, the software operates in parallel with Locus apps for Scope 1-2 operational emissions, ESG reporting, and waste and water.

Improve communications and accelerate analysis
Locus Sustainable Construction manages everything from suppliers and machinery, to permit requirements and site surveys, to electronic weight and site delivery tickets within a centralized and secure, cloud-based platform. Authorized users log in to view custom dashboards, run detailed reports, or audit calculations.
Sustainable design vs. sustainable construction
Sustainable design prescribes during planning, while sustainable construction demonstrates impacts in execution, with Locus Technologies ensuring each construction step leads to a greener future. This allows for comparison among “business as usual,” low-carbon design, and low-carbon construction scenarios.
Life cycle assessment clarity
Sustainable Construction and Sustainable Design converge in Locus Technologies’ lifecycle stage analyses, facilitating emissions determination during construction for transparency and accountability.
Calculate the environmental impact of a construction project
Reduce your construction project’s carbon footprint with accurate estimations of embodied carbon in construction products, enabling you to make informed decisions and prioritize sustainability. Connect Locus to the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for chosen building materials along with data about the quantities of each material entering or exiting the site. Locus software does the rest.
Incorporate construction stage emissions
Locus Technologies provides data tracking for noise and air quality, ensuring compliance with local regulations and minimizing the immediate impacts of construction on surrounding neighborhoods. Our platform tracks diesel engine emissions, ensuring compliance with strict standards and maintaining clean, safe construction sites with detailed engine and vehicle data.
Promote circularity of construction materials
Embodied carbon impacts continue through the “end of life” stages of construction, such as demolition, renovation, and the related blasting, sorting, grinding, cleaning, and hauling of building materials. Locus Sustainable Construction software tracks those carbon impacts and uses contractors’ EDD weight tickets to calculate the construction waste that gets hauled to landfills, delivered to incinerators, or diverted to recycling centers. Locus software optimizes material circularity, ensuring effective waste management and promoting the reuse of recycled materials.
