Explanation:
Whether you are setting up a mall, an airport, an SEZ, metro station, educational institution or large corporate campus, one of the key factors that will determine operational costs is resource management. Today, resources like electricity, water and gas contribute significantly not only to the operational costs of a facility but also to its carbon footprint. The need of the hour, therefore, is to balance the eco-system while maintaining a sustainable growth of the country.
Carbon footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. In order to calculate our carbon footprint, it is required to monitor and manage data like:
Today, the major challenge for a facility manager is to operate the facility efficiently which means optimizing the electricity, water, gas, air and steam needs and, at the same time, reducing the carbon footprint.
It has become vital for organizations to develop and deploy a system capable of monitoring the overall support infrastructure to optimize resources use and minimize the environmental impact.
Through our Clean, Green & Renewable program, Environment America, our network of 29 state affiliates, and our members and activists in all 50 states are running three campaigns:
100% Renewable: The shift toward clean, renewable power starts locally. We’re asking states, local governments and college campuses to aim high to meet all their energy needs with solar, wind and other renewable resources.
Go Solar: Smart public policies have driven the remarkable growth of solar power in states and cities all over the country. We’re working to promote and defend the future of solar, state by state and city by city.
Go Big on Offshore Wind: The winds that blow off our Atlantic Coast could provide enough electricity to meet the energy needs of the entire East Coast. We’re asking the governors of six states to take the initiative.
The Cleanest Energy-Conservation and Efficiency: The cleanest energy we have is the energy we never need in the first place. Reducing energy use creates big savings—for our planet, our climate and our health. We’re working to get states to adopt strong energy efficiency programs.
