Minimizing CO2 Impact from Concept to Deployment in Smart Buildings
summary
Company adopts ISO 14001 and starts quantifying footprints, finds batteries 60–80% of a device's LCA emissions, and notes a 200 km service trip emits ~40 kg CO2. Actions taken: install solar on manufacturing, equip lines with a relay and electricity meter, control rooftop sign, and run accelerated life testing that simulated 25 years for many devices. Recommendation emphasizes invest in durability, long-life batteries, OTA firmware updates, and measure installation/service emissions.
