Context of Application

Companies are faced with mounting global pressure to help cut carbon emissions and become more efficient by reducing energy and water consumption and waste. To do this they require accurate and timely environmental reporting.

Problem to Solve

The facility manager needs to:

Convert energy consumption to greenhouse gas equivalents to communicate the results of reduction efforts to stakeholders (shareholders, public, regulatory bodies).
Promote a green image.

Purpose of the Application

Track and report carbon emissions and waste

Energy consumption and waste can be converted to carbon emissions and represented, for example, as:

Equivalent tons of CO₂
Saved trees
Kilometers driven

In addition, Schneider Electric's modules can communicate water waste and provide period-over-period usage comparison.
