Honeywell introduced a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory service that measures and provides a comprehensive snapshot of an organization’s verifiable GHG emissions. The service gives customers the information to make educated, strategic decisions about reducing their environmental impact and creates an accurate baseline for measuring the success of sustainability programs.
Many organizations, including schools, universities and municipalities, have made a commitment to become carbon neutral or significantly cut GHG emissions. However, few have the expertise or resources needed to catalog current emissions — the cornerstone of effective programs. The GHG Inventory creates a baseline by using industry-standard tools to measure emissions attributed to all operations of an organization, compiling data from more than 200 possible sources. The findings, presented in a GHG Emissions Report, provide a detailed starting point for launching or validating green initiatives. Having a precise baseline is also essential for organizations that intend to access revenue streams associated with emissions trading.
“Many organizations are trying to improve sustainability, but it’s difficult to make changes without fully understanding the areas that need to be addressed,” said Paul Orzeske, president of Honeywell Building Solutions. “The GHG Inventory removes ambiguity by collecting and measuring data from a myriad of sources. Plus, the results come from an organization with decades of energy and sustainability experience.”
Since the 1980s, Honeywell has completed more than 5,000 energy-efficiency projects in facilities across the globe. It also has helped 5 million homeowners decrease their energy use through our work with utilities. These projects are expected to deliver more than $5 billion in energy and operational savings.
Overall, nearly 50 percent of Honeywell’s product portfolio company-wide is linked to energy efficiency. The company estimates the global economy could operate on 10 to 25 percent less energy by using today’s existing Honeywell technologies.
