Build more sustainable tech with
Green Factor
Practical guidance plus lightweight checks that help you validate eco friendly design choices across architecture, delivery, and operations.
What it is
A small toolkit that pairs sustainability minded guidance with practical validation checks, so teams can design and deliver with lower waste and better carbon awareness.
Guidance
Curated statements with rationale and practical implementation notes. Built for architects and engineers who want clear trade offs and next actions.

As our world becomes increasingly digital, the environmental impact of technology poses significant challenges. The technology industry is responsible for an estimated 2 to 4% of global emissions, and that figure is poised to rise over the coming decade.
Amid the complexity, there is a real opportunity to bring innovation and responsibility closer together. In sustainable engineering and architecture, everyone has a part to play. We encourage you to consider the impact of your choices and place sustainability at the core of your design decisions, while building awareness within yourself and your peers.
“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”
