There is a direct connection between energy consumption and the related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The best way to manage your GHG emissions is to manage your energy consumption. This webinar will present the connection and pathways to manage energy and reduce GHG emissions. Mike will also briefly introduce a new ISO standard which is under development for managing energy-related GHG emissions.

IHEA's Sustainability and Energy Management webinar series focuses on carbon producing heating processes and provide methods to optimize their efficiency and thereby reduce their carbon emission intensity. Additionally, these webinars cover the various scopes of carbon emissions and the methods to determine your site, or specific equipment, carbon footprint. The available DOE tools and other resources for determining and reducing your carbon footprint will be presented. Overall, this webinar series gives the attendees an excellent overview of carbon emissions, how to determine them, and how to reduce them.  Learn more about IHEA's Sustainability Initiatives by clicking here.
