Worried if your business is going to survive in a low carbon
economy, and what does it really mean for you today?
Not sure how to get started? Kelcroft can help start you on
the right path.
Carbon Footprint Audit
A Kelcroft Carbon Audit is the scientific analysis of your business analyzing and recording your annual carbon usage. The outcome an your annual carbon consumption.
Yes,
it is a snapshot, an overview and record of the consumption during the
previous year, but it provides a metric to measure your impact on the
environment, and is prompt, for setting future carbon reduction targets.

Reducing Carbon
Obvious as it may sound, to lower your carbon footprint you need to lower your GHG emissions and the largest contributor is typically your energy consumption.
Kelcroft's energy expertise identifies your direct and
indirect carbon impacts, and provides you with practical and creative solutions to lower your
annual carbon footprint.
What does the future hold?
Pollution prevention is better, and cheaper than the cure. Stopping contaminates before they enter the environment is more cost effective than remediation work, the same principal is applicable for Carbon too.
In Hong Kong 86% of all electricity generated is used in buildings, an obvious opportunity to lower pollution and carbon emissions.
In 2008 Australia lawmakers are suggesting that individual buildings will have a carbon cap imposed, a precursor to building carbon trading perhaps.
In the United Kingdom individual
government buildings are now required to display an energy certification at the
main entrance, a precursor for private commercial buildings.
Increasingly, it's about taking
responsibility, in the community
and locally.
We
can't
predict the future, but we recognize the trends. What is
clear, there is a trend towards increasing Carbon accounting. Once
it was
only countries, and CDM projects, but the trend is most definitely
heading towards the
individual products and buildings.
