The Matcha Initiative
Join usA technical audit of your premises will assess the potential for reducing carbon emissions from the buildings your company operates.
When it comes to energy, the four steps to reducing the carbon footprint of buildings are as follows:
Think also about energy conservation. The best efficiency is the energy that is not used! In Singapore, for example, the air-conditioning target for offices should be set above 25°C and not less than 8°C below the outdoor temperature: this setting provides healthy thermal comfort for people and reduces energy consumption.
Air conditioning releases other greenhouse gases: efficient maintenance of these refrigerants is key to reducing these specific emissions.
Significantly reducing the carbon footprint of buildings while improving health and well-being is achievable through
A strategic approach is needed to be successful.
You may want to investigate ISO 50001 - Energy Management Systems for a standardized approach.
If you are a tenant, you will need to negotiate with your landlord to share data and action plans. You may also want to change location and negotiate a green lease to improve the performance of your buildings. The Building Construction Authority (BCA) has developed a Green Lease Toolkit to help landlords and tenants work together to improve the environmental performance of buildings.
