by Jbs062210 f3 — June 28, 2010—Honeywell recently introduced its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Management offering, a comprehensive portfolio of energy services that use ongoing measurement, monitoring and real-time emissions data to shape mitigation strategies that help customers meet sustainability goals and compliance requirements.
Honeywell notes that many universities, municipalities and other institutions have made public commitments to reduce emissions or need to track emissions to meet EPA regulations. Yet they lack the in-house expertise or resources to do so, or the ability to develop a strategic plan to reduce their environmental footprint.
To address this need, the GHG Emissions Management service encompasses the whole emissions management cycle, including emissions inventories, audits to identify reduction opportunities, energy retrofits and implementation of renewable technologies, ongoing monitoring and reporting, and carbon monetization.
Once all GHG sources are defined, engineers conduct on-site audits to evaluate potential conservation measures and emissions mitigation opportunities, says the company. This could entail upgrading facility systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting, weatherizing and sealing building exteriors, and implementing biomass, solar, wind and other renewable energy technologies.
The Honeywell service also includes ongoing monitoring and reporting to help assess progress toward emissions reduction targets, new Web-based dashboards that pull real-time data from electricity, gas and water meters into a single, easy-to-read view; tools and support to help communicate internal efforts and results to external audiences—online, in print and in person—helping organizations build awareness among key stakeholders and the surrounding community; and on-site sustainability director staffing. Honeywell will also work with customers to sell offsets, carbon credits, and renewable energy credits.
