A parallel universe…

A market oriented response

Principles of Green Building• Orientation

• Insulation

• Thermal Mass

• Landscaping

Informed by knowledge and data

So what about this idea?

an algorithm that reports and drives behaviour change

• Linked to a star rating scheme for farms

• Underwritten by an ‘economic engine’ – finance, profitability and property values.

Figures for carbon capture and storage

• Random sample – 828.6 tonnes/ha dry mass

Add grass and herbs = 832 tonnes/ha

• Therefore, 2,908 tonnes/km

• Convert to Carbon = 1,454 tonnes/km (Compares to around 5,900 t/km for mature She-oak forest)
