Carbon Emissions Reduction UK | Don’t Blame It All on Planes, Trains and Automobiles

December 5, 2025

When we talk about climate change, we naturally think of cars and planes choking up the atmosphere.  

Truth is, the biggest contributor to global carbon emissions are the buildings we live and work in every day. 

Across the globe, 40% of carbon emissions come from the construction, operation and maintenance of buildings. 28% of those emissions are directly linked to heating, cooling and lighting; the systems that keep buildings comfortable and functional 

As energy costs rise and sustainability targets tighten, organisations face increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, while maintaining comfort and compliance. 

The good news? This is a challenge we can help you solve. 

How Tyrrell Systems can help with Carbon Emissions

At Tyrrell Systems, we specialise in smart building technologies that transform the way energy is consumed and managed. Our solutions are designed to: 
 

  • Reduce heating, cooling and lighting: using low-cost, people-counting technology to ensure energy is only used when spaces are occupied 
  • Monitor with IoT: giving building managers clear insights into performance and areas of waste 
  • Balance comfort and efficiency: creating healthier environments while reducing operational costs 
  • Scale with your needs: adapting to new regulations, technologies and sustainability goals 

By intelligently managing building performance, our customers are not only reducing emissions but also achieving measurable savings and future-proofing their operations. 

The opportunities ahead 

The solution lies within the problem. The statistics are clear: buildings are a major source of emissions. But they are also one of the greatest opportunities for change. 

With the right systems in place, every building has the potential to become part of the climate solution. 

At Tyrrell Systems, we’re committed to helping organisations unlock that potential in their buildings. 

Together, we can make buildings smarter, greener and more sustainable.
