DRAM Balances Energy Usage
Energy costs more if it’s in high demand, this is a simple supply and demand scenario. DRAM, however, enables an enterprise to benefit from energy price reductions by utilizing a demand response program. The technology allows stores, hotels and retail operations to use controls and software. This innovative energy-saving solution can be utilized without interfering in other operations.
Energy Conservation Techniques for Businesses
There are many different energy conservation techniques available to businesses, offering money saving opportunities in the areas of energy generation, consumption, distribution and transmission. During new construction, improvements to devices and systems that use any form of energy, including oil, gas, coal, nuclear power and electricity, can be made.
Explaining the Materiality Definition
The materiality definition in The Climate Registry is part of its general verification protocol (GVP). It allows for a threshold of 5%, either over or under statement, of an entitys direct or indirect emissions of greenhouse gases. Direct emissions refers to occurrence onsite from the source, such as when refrigerant gas discharges during a leak. Indirect emissions refer to the use of resources or goods that discharge greenhouse gases during their production.
Emission Scopes Identify Harmful Greenhouse Gases
It has been scientifically proven that certain chemicals when discharged into the air can cause severe damage to the environment and lead to global warming. Several treaties, among them the U.S. Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol, have been enacted worldwide to reduce the emission of harmful substances. Furthermore, emission scopes are being used to define and categorize the chemicals and their areas of use so facilities can better understand and take action to monitor the discharge rate of greenhouse gases.
