United Rentals has launched an 鈥楨stimated Emissions鈥� dashboard that enables users to estimate carbon emissions from rented equipment, including historic, present or future equipment use.

The digital tool, which is available through United鈥檚 鈥楾otal Control鈥� cloud-based platform, aims to help customers understand their equipment emissions and make data-based decisions on equipment management.

Users can view estimated emissions data 鈥� in metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent 鈥� by equipment category, time or jobsite. Customers can filter data by time period, account, jobsite and equipment class.

Data cards highlight information such as total estimated emissions, the highest emissions in a single month, and the equipment class with the highest estimated emissions.

鈥淩educing jobsite emissions is a priority for many construction companies and project owners, but it is difficult to manage what you cannot measure,鈥� said Tony Leopold, senior vice president of Strategy & Digital, United Rentals.

鈥淎ccess to easily digestible, shareable data on estimated emissions is the first step in the drive to reduce a jobsite鈥檚 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鈥� fingertips.鈥�

United said the dashboard was one of a number of sustainability-related offerings, including digital tools, power generation alternatives, battery energy storage systems, micro grids and electric or hybrid equipment.
