PLANS

Assess - indirect

Electricity Use

Your organisation may already have specific high energy operations individually metered. You will need access to this information to decide which areas of the organisation are of the greatest concern. You will need to estimate which functions are the highest energy users if monitoring and metering is not carried.

Task 3 Assess electricity use

Develop an inventory of your organisations use of electricity. Note the electricity consumption for each operation.
If figures are unavailable mark your inventory entries either high, medium or low usage.

Other Indirect Emissions

Assess which areas or functions upstream and downstream within your operational boundaries have the highest carbon count.
These are where you will first consider mitigation measures.

Task 4 Link Indirect Emissions to Carbon Issues

Work through the Issues (left hand nav) and allocate at least one issue to each of the indirect emissions of greatest concern.

City University have calculated the basic carbon footprint of the University after looking at some easily quantifiable elements such as building energy use, academic and staff travel and waste sent to landfill.

Task 5 Are there other carbon issues and plans you would like to include in your carbon reduction process?

Have a look at the issues and plans in left hand nav and decide whether you are measuring all you want, and whether some other aspect of carbon reduction should be added to your plans.
