TITLE: PRESENTATION #5 – HOW TO REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT

• UNDERSTAND RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN GHG INTENSITY AND GLOBAL WARMING EFFECT CURRENT LEVEL

TITLE: PRESENTATION #5 – HOW TO REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT

• CLIMATE SCIENCE (1 OF 2)
• CO2 concentration to increase from

368 to between 540 - 1000 ppm.

• Temperatures to rise by between 1.4

– 5.8 0C globally ▪ Sea level to rise 9 – 88 cm ▪Global warming is expected to cause plant and animal species extinction, agriculture yields to drop, food supply disruption and adverse human health

EMISSIONS

Definition; The total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent kg/tons of carbon dioxide (CO2eq). The carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) allows the different greenhouse gases to be compared on a like-for-like basis relative to one unit of CO2. CO2eq is calculated by multiplying the emissions

• f each of the six greenhouse gases by

its 100 year global warming potential (GWP).

EXAMPLE OF GREEN ACTION DOCUMENT

TARGET; B.E.I = 250.00 kWh/m2/yr by 2019 M&V SCHEDULE; At 2 months interval SHORT TERM BASELINE; CALCULATED B.E.I = 280.00 kWh/m2/yr as at 2018 SECTOR;

ENERGY

GREEN INITIATIVES;

• 1. Switch ON lights only when needed
• 2. Ensure A/C temperature at 24oC all time
• 3. Use nature lighting as maximum possible
• 4. Reduce use of lifts and escalator

✓ Green Cleaning Programs ✓ Battery Take Back Programs ✓ Pesticide – Free Grounds Maintenance ✓ Low Mercury Lighting ✓ Electronic Waste ✓ Anaesthetic Agents

POLLUTION PREVENTION

1.Set temperature controls to suit the space and only have cooling/heating ON when required

• 2. Minimize heat wastage by closing doors and keeping radiators unobstructed
• 3. Maintain boilers and pipe-work for optimal operation
• 4. Revise control options — consider optimum start, compensators and TRVs

5.Try to ventilate and cool with natural methods

• 6. Check that heating and cooling are not operating at the same time
• 7. Switch off all non-essential lights
• 8. Find the most efficient lighting options
• 9. Install controls — consider time switches, occupancy sensors and daylight sensors
• 10. Wire lights to switch in parallel

ENERGY EFFICIENCY PRACTICES

• 11. Turn OFF unused electrical and office equipment
• 12. Consider life cycle costs when purchasing equipment
• 13. Check for air loss through the building fabric of floors, walls, roofs and windows
• 14. Repair gaps in the building fabric immediately so heated or cooled air is not

escaping

• 15. Insulate as much as possible, including pipe-work
• 16. Get all staff involved and run an awareness campaign
• 17. Monitor energy usage by checking meter data and bills
• 18. Consider sub-metering, especially in energy intensive departments
• 19. Set targets and devise an action plan
• 20. Consider combined heat and power (Co-generation) if the hospital site has

appropriate demand

HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY;

ENERGY EFFICIENCY PRACTICES

• Encourage use of public transport for staff and patients
• Introduce car pool programs
• Organise eco-driving trainings to all drivers
• Use Biodiesel fuel (B10) to all diesel powered vehicles
• Introduce bicycle ride within hospital compound
• Introduce no idling for all stationary vehicles except

ambulance with hospital compound

• Plan for electric car for heavy traffic use
