The Estimated Emissions dashboard introduced by United Rentals is a digital tool that allows users to view current and historical estimated carbon emissions for rental equipment and job sites. The new tool will be available through United Rentals' Total Control fleet management platform.
This new tool helps customers understand equipment emissions and make data-based decisions to enact changes that will yield the most significant results.
Users can view estimated metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by equipment category class, time, or job site. From any view, users can filter data by time, account, job site, and cat class. Each view provides data cards highlighting important information. This includes total estimated emissions of all rental equipment, the highest estimated emissions in a single month, and the cat class with the highest total estimated emissions.
"Reducing job site emissions is a priority for many construction companies and project owners, but it is difficult to manage what you cannot measure," said Tony Leopold, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Digital, United Rentals. "Access to easily digestible, shareable data on estimated emissions is the first step in the drive to reduce a job site's carbon footprint. With the Estimated Emissions dashboard in Total Control, United Rentals puts this data, and the power to act on it, at our customers' fingertips."
The Estimated Emissions dashboard is part of United Rentals' suite of sustainability offerings which includes digital tools, power generation alternatives, battery energy storage systems, microgrids, and electric or hybrid equipment.
