Emission factors – what are they and what are they for?
What are emission factors? Carbon emission factors, sometimes called carbon conversion factors, are used to calculate the carbon emissions arising from an activity. For the greatest accuracy, the best way to measure carbon emissions would be to monitor them directly as they are emitted, for example by placing a sensor in a power station chimney. Given the large number of different sources of ...

Refrigerant compliance includes calculating carbon emissions
If you manage a facility using a refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) system or heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC-R) system, it’s time to comply with federal and state environmental laws regarding carbon emissions. To help reduce greenhouse gases, the law requires calculating carbon emissions. This means monitoring, collecting data and performing extensive reporting of CO2 ...

Projects to reduce the Carbon Footprint
To understand the projects aimed at reducing the Carbon Footprint on the planet, we must understand the context. Not only is it necessary to explain what the Carbon Footprint consists of, but it is also necessary to understand its effects and contribution to Climate Change. The Carbon Footprint is a metric that quantifies the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere in each small ...

Scientists call manmade chemicals like refrigerant gases a cause of climate change
A major cause of climate change is the harm that is done to the Earth by man-made chemicals. Whilst chemicals, such as those used to produce day by day items, operate equipment and generally make life easier, are necessary, they present a threat to the environment. Governments around the world have set new regulations to limit the use of substances that contribute to global warming and deplete ...

Gas Detection and Monitoring Systems
In greenhouse applications, the accurate measurement of a number of environmental parameters such as carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, light intensity, water, humidity, pH and nutrient levels using sophisticated sensors is used to create a controlled environment for optimising plant growth rates while minimising energy usage. Carbon dioxide concentration is also one of the best ...

EPA plans to make greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting mandatory
Mandatory carbon (CO2) emissions reporting is more important than ever as the United States works with facilities to reduce substances known to adversely affect air quality, the climate, and lead to global warming. Most of the known matter that is destroying the earth’s ozone layer and contributing to global warming is derived from manmade compounds and chemicals with high global warming ...

Carbon Monoxide Monitoring
Carbon monoxide, one of the most abundant pollutant gases. The gas is indetectable to humans as one can not see, smell, or taste. However, exposure to high levels of CO can cause CO poisoning leading to serious health issues, giving it the name “The Silent Killer.” CO monitoring is the most effective way to know if one is at risk of carbon monoxide exposure. Meanwhile, this article ...
