Struggling to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions?

Antes de reduzir o consumo de energia e as emiss?es de carbono, é essencial entender sua matriz energética, assim, realizar uma auditoria em sua casa ou empresa é o primeiro passo para identificar onde a maior parte da energia está sendo usada e desperdi?ada. Analise todos os sistemas envolvidos. Com esse levantamento terá possibilidades de priorizar mudan?as relevantes e mais assertivas. Pequenos desperdícios podem prejudicar nas despesas e uma pegada de carbono mapeada é o segredo da eficiência em um curto espa?o de tempo, pense nisso.

The structure of Carbon Reduction needs to be preceded by strong independently audited Carbon Reporting particularly if there is focus on ESG to do otherwise is a waste of time and resources.

If you are a business that rents your space, consider 1) Preferentially partnering with landlords that value energy efficiency in their properties as validated by energy benchmarking or third-party building certification (e.g., LEED, ENERGY STAR); 2) Utilizing a sustainability scorecard to evaluate energy use intensity and building performance; and 3) Installing energy efficient equipment such as LED lighting, lighting sensors and controls, daylighting, and ENERGY STAR Certified appliances in office buildouts. If you have been there for some time, don't fret, you can still start with things you can control like creating a Sustainability plan and ESG strategy with performance targets. Then focus on those things to reduce GHGs.

The best way to reduce carbon emissions in homes and industrial areas is to know the energy consumption capacity of your appliances and also, look for an alternative measure of using energy saving like bulbs. Always remember the 3Rs of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle ??. Reduce waste by avoiding non biodegradable items for packaging and bagging of goods and end up in the trash bin. Reusing your existing facility and not trashing every used plastic to reduce carbon footprint. Sorting of waste and bagging them and labelling before discarding can help authorities to to recycle your waste and reduce carbon footprint.

Na verdade, realizar uma auditoria energética é essencial para entender onde a energia é desperdi?ada e, assim, priorizar a??es de maior impacto. Identificar e corrigir pequenas ineficiências pode reduzir custos e a pegada de carbono a longo prazo, tornando esse diagnóstico inicial um passo fundamental para a eficiência energética.

Smart systems are great. However, where you place your sensors is extremely important. I once worked with a university that was bragging about their new Weather station to track climate change, they noted this one was tracking considerably higher temps than the others. So we went out and looked it....they mounted it over a parking lot! So be mindful of where sensors and smart switches are located. They are helpful, but if getting the wrong input, all the decisions that smart device will be making will be based on flawed data.

Eu acho que, tecnologias inteligentes, como termostatos e ilumina??o automatizada, otimizam o uso de energia com base nos hábitos do usuário, reduzindo desperdícios e a pegada de carbono. Além de promover a sustentabilidade, essas inova??es oferecem conveniência e economias financeiras a longo prazo.

Aplicar tecnologías avanzadas en los equipos de mayor consumo ejemplo Aires acondicionado doble Inverter con sistemas de medición y control de temperatura y humedad basados en inteligencia artificial puede generar grandes ahorros siempre enfocarse primera e los grande consumidores.. es decir los mangos bajitos como diríamos en Colombia

Existem tecnologias ancestrais e também as atuais. O equilíbrio térmico de um ambiente fechado(como entendo que é descrito neste item). Esta economia pode ser feita, também, através destas tecnologias, sensores, aparelhos, automatiza??o, porém se for realizado o cálculo da cadeia de produ??o destes itens(aparelhos), desde os insumos até o "cliente final", qual será o impacto desta pegada? Creio que a tecnologia inteligente aplicada aqui, pode ser adotada já na constru??o deste ambiente de trabalho de moradia e trabalho. Conceitos básico de "Bioconstru??es", podem surpreender no alcance desta economia energética para o "conforto térmico" em ambientes fechados.

Some aspect often overlooked is the wasted energy of different processes and the HVAC system. These wasted energies are for example cooling water, compressor cooling air/water, waste water, exhaust air. Recovering their thermal energy is often more efficient than to acquire external renewable energy sources. Often the generation of cooling and heating can be combined in one machine instead of doing it seprately.

And don't forget about IRA funds that can help add renewables, storage and microgrids that can further save energy and money long term to move beyond net zero to net positive!

The switch to renewable energies is not necessarily associated with high investments. Sometimes it is enough to simply change your electricity provider.

Recentemente estive no estado do Amapá e por estar sobreposto na linha do equador, tem um potencial muito maior de energia solar. No estado do Amapá, regi?o Norte do país foi implementada a concess?o de energia, pela companhia gestora, que acaba repassando um ?nus discrepante no pagamento da energia, assim as casa tem adotado cada vez mais o sistema de energia solar, uma alternativa econ?mica e sustentável para regi?o. Imagine uma casa de palafita com sistema de energia solar, foi este o cenário que me deparei.

Uma coisa que acho útil, é investir em energia renovável, como solar e eólica, reduz a dependência de combustíveis fósseis, diminui a pegada de carbono e traz economia a longo prazo, além de agregar valor à propriedade.

Efficiency gains can drive energy consumption reductions and lowered carbon emissions. One area often overlooked on this topic is the importance preventative maintenance can play in boosting efficiency. When machinery, equipment, and vehicles are maintained in optimal condition, they tend to consume energy at expected levels. However, when maintenance is neglected, these items can turn into fuel and electricity guzzlers. Same output + more energy = less efficient. Organizations must become purposeful and proactive with their maintenance strategies. A reactive approach to maintaining your equipment only puts you further away from your energy and carbon emissions goals.

Eficiencia es clave.. hacer más con lo menos mbuscar equipos con etiquetas de alta eficiencia a nivel residencial comercial y industria pero también ser eficientes en los procesos solo utilizar lo necesario ejemplo equipos quedan prendidos equipos a baja carga y demás

Tenho sérias restri??es ao uso do LED, n?o o entendo como solu??o de economia energética, levando em considera??o o impacto de sua produ??o e o seu resultado no uso contínuo para a saúde, tanto a humana, quanto as de fauna e flora.

Don't forget digital carbon footprint. Every digital activity you conduct has a cost as your devices use power. And not just your laptop's power but the power of the centres where your data is hosted. Simply through cutting down on the number and size of emails that you send to turning off your video whilst waiting for other people to join a call to switching off your computer and screens at night can have a big impact. And can be easily remembered through setting reminders in your outlook calendar. This type of shift in behaviour reduces carbon impact and costs and can be a great focus for a employee engagement campaign.

Turn off, turn down. Trees don't need spot lights. Motion sensor lights, dimmer switches, timers. Anything with a light on is using power. Not using it, unplug it. Maintain cool and warm. If you turn on the heat at ___° (68°) than that's the coldest setting. If you turn on the AC/Central at ___°(70°-72°) that's your warm. Not home? AC up 2° heat down 2°. Keep your units clean and filters unclogged. Lowflow shower, toilet regulators. Wet your body, teeth, dishes, turn water off, wash, shave, brush. Water on, rinse. Tune up, oil change, tire pressure, less gas pedal, less brake pedal, coast more. Mow at sundown, leave grass longer. drought tolerant plantings, rock gardens, dry creek, rain pond. Lava rocks not mulch. Leaves are plant food

Climate-friendly changes in behavior are even easier if the context is right. For example, companies can financially promote the use of public transport by their employees or convert their company car fleet to EVs. Likewise, vegan or vegetarian meals can be offered in the company canteen.

Estas "pequenas" mudan?as s?o substanciais e necessárias, porém continuam sendo insignificantes, mediante a maneira desrespeitosa e abusiva, com que grandes empresas e corpora??es, fazem o uso destes mesmos recursos naturais, com anuências governamentais.

We can and should all help to reduce carbon emissions. If you can contribute by working from home, giving your employees the option to do so, or making the green commute to work, whether it's a short walk or a bike ride to a nearby office, do it, because the effort needs to be collective. The key to our success is reducing our carbon footprint, so every change of habit is welcome.
