 The next step is to reduce direct, on site emissions by improving
energy efficiency leading to overall improvement in operating
performance and reduced utlity bills. In addition, a staff education
program engages your people in creating the overall outcome.
Reducing
the impact of emissions relating to your products, services and supply
chain (indirect emissions) is ideally incorporated during the design
stage and by life-cycle analyses (LCA).
Examples of how this can be achieved:
- Energy-saving technologies
- LCD monitors
- Energy Star-rated appliances
- Lighting controls (sensor activated)
- Solar water heating installations
- Stack Filters
- Retrofitting &/or appliance Upgrades
- Compact fluorescent lights
- Water-reduction devices: high energy use is linked to water heating
- Improve office design
- Optimising air conditioning by optimising thermostatic control
- Improved insulation
- Improved ventilation
- Recycle
- Purchase Green Energy
- Fuel efficient fleets or hybrid vehicles
- Car pool schemes of transportation
- Offset carbon emissions from air travel
