Take a typical scenario: a large building has aged significantly and a decision is made to demolish it, the embodied carbon in the building materials will be released back into the atmosphere; More embodied carbon will be produced. Once the new structure is built, it goes into a cycle again…
Thus, the “greenest” structures are likely to be those that already exist and can be repaired to increase carbon efficiency. This speculation is demonstrated in a detailed report titled “Green Buildings: Quantifying the Environmental Value of Building Reuse,” provided by the American Trust for Historic Preservation.
The longer the building and structure operates, the more the smaller the embodied carbon impact. So how do you reduce the embodied carbon in the built environment?
(1) Visual inspection Is there an efficient detection method that can detect the embedded carbon of all objects? Of course not, but a comprehensive and accurate data can provide a basis for further actions, and a report on the whole process of operation and carbon content from “birth to end of service” is meaningful. INSPECT is a comprehensive, cloud-based software Digital, customizable and collaborative methods allow you to better collect inspection data on site, and at the same time issue inspection reports according to your and customer needs. 
(2) Preventive maintenance

In-depth data gives you the basis for preventive maintenance. According to the embodied carbon assessment report and structural inspection data, the priority of immediate maintenance and pending maintenance can be judged. This helps to avoid situations such as structural failure, thus prolonging the life of the structure. The product line of Patrol Eagle Intelligent Inspection covers innovative technologies such as structural radar, ultrasonic pulse echo, rebound technology and eddy current, which can realize comprehensive inspection of any type of concrete structure. Even in harsh environments, it can clearly and deeply detect the internal conditions of concrete through excellent visualization functions and rich data collection. It is also equipped with intelligent collaboration software with fast reporting and excellent image processing capabilities to detect and report structural health for you in a timely manner.
(3) Maintenance
On the whole, the durability of the building can be ensured through structural maintenance. But all of this requires complete, clear and actionable data to arrive at a repair-or-remove decision. Avoiding demolition and making full use of existing facilities can significantly reduce the global carbon impact.
At the same time, in the process of design and construction, high-quality environmentally friendly materials, products and processes are also required.
Screeningeagle Intelligent Inspection Technology Solution is committed to realizing efficient inspection through a technology platform interconnected by software, smart devices, cameras, sensors and cloud Digital on-site work, benign return on assets and continuously increasing asset value, thus contributing to sound economic development, a sustainable future, and protecting the safe, reliable and long-term operation of the construction world.
