by Rebecca Walker — July 20, 2009—Johnson Controls, a multi-industrial leader in providing energy efficiency and sustainability solutions, has introduced an enhanced Energy and Emissions Management System that gives global organizations the ability to analyze energy trends and calculate greenhouse gas levels.
It measures, manages and forecasts activities related to energy cost, consumption, energy efficiency projects, fleet emissions, and waste and gives easy-to-understand, auditable reports to validate incoming data, says the company.
Delivered by Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions, the Energy and Emissions Management System is Web-based and incorporates one of the most advanced management software programs available to meet greenhouse gas emission reporting standards, according to Groom Energy Solutions, a renewable and energy efficiency service provider.
The system currently manages $1 billion of annual energy spend and annually monitors 63 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions for 5,000 buildings located in 88 countries. Over the last eight years, the system has captured more than 8,000 energy and cost savings initiatives, nearly half of which were achieved for global companies including Pfizer, Wyeth, Dell and Xerox, according to Johnson Controls.
The Energy and Emissions Management System is user-friendly and includes international support of data entry. Reports can be generated in four languages, numerous currencies and units of measure. In addition, a greenhouse gas inventory module automates carbon accounting based on the World Research Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development GHG Protocol. The GHG module consolidates all sources of greenhouse gas emissions, baseline adjustments, and credit trading impacts to generate a transparent, verifiable greenhouse gas inventory.
