Buildings represent 39% of annual greenhouse gas emissions globally, 28% from operational carbon and 11% from building materials and construction or embodied carbon. |
 |
Energy efficiency advances and environmental policies continue to improve operational carbon. |
 |
Reduction in embodied carbon must be designed into the building infrastructure to have meaningful impact. This includes network infrastructure that supports the ever-increasing technologies being deployed in sustainable commercial buildings. |
 |
Fiber to the edge creates sustainable future-ready networks with virtually unlimited bandwidth and ultra-high reliability, requiring less materials, space and energy than traditional copper-based networks. |
 |
Fiber to the edge networks can also significantly reduce the whole-building life cycle carbon of a building. |
