# Carbon Aware SDK
2+
The Carbon Aware SDK is a toolset to help you measure the carbon emissions of your software,
3+
in turn helping you **measure and reduce your software's carbon emissions**.

5+
By knowing the carbon emissions of the energy that powers your applications,
6+
you and your organisation can make decisions on when and where to run your software,
7+
and leverage greener energy sources.

* Build your AI models when carbon emissions are lower
10+
* Deploy software into the cloud in locations that have greener energy sources
11+
* Run software updates at greener energy time windows
12+
* Use data to run hypothetical models to understand how you could start driving impact and reduce emissions
13+
14+
Companies including UBS and Vestas have already deployed the Carbon Aware SDK to build green software, and you can too!
