### What is Tuuli?

Tuuli is an end-to-end solution for developers to measure, reduce and monitor the carbon emissions for their building portfolios. Currently, the construction industry is faced with the challenge of addressing two streams of carbon, embodied (i.e. the carbon emitted during the construction process) and operational (i.e. the carbon emitted from the lifetime use of the building). Given legislative pressure over the last decade to reduce operational carbon, significant progress has been made to optimize building performance.&#x20;

However, no one has yet taken the opportunity to develop comprehensive carbon reduction strategies for embodied carbon. Embodied carbon contributes significantly towards the building’s carbon footprint, which governments are starting to address by putting mandatory targets in place. As developers strive to stay within their budgets while meeting stringent carbon targets set by building owners and local policies, they urgently require cost-effective strategies to reduce their embodied carbon emissions.&#x20;

That’s why we are building the first platform that offers actionable building-specific insights to reduce embodied carbon emissions at all stages of the building development process.

### Who is Tuuli for?

Tuuli is designed for building developers of multi-family and commercial mid-high rise buildings to manage and reduce their embodied carbon. The features of Tuuli help developers make informed decisions when reducing their emissions to meet their embodied carbon targets.

### Getting Started

The first time you log into Tuuli, you will be led to an empty building directory. We recommend getting started by adding a new building. As you add projects, the directory will populate with buildings and their carbon performances.
