Net Zero by 2030 is the challenge of all property owners, managers and renters, but what does it actually mean and how will you get there. Buildings use or consume energy through lighting, HVAC, laundry facilities, appliances, etc. In the future, many buildings will also produce energy, energy equivalent to the amount they consume; hence the term “net-zero”.
Green power is electricity produced from renewable resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and low-impact hydro. The EPA considers buying green power to be one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve an organization’s environmental performance.
A Carbon footprint is an estimated annual climate impact is determined by the sum of the greenhouse gas emissions that are produced by all forms of energy use, including but not limited to personal lifestyle, business and manufacturing practices, emissions, transportation, and air travel. The total of those emissions – translated into and measured in equivalent units of carbon dioxide – is sometimes referred to as a “carbon footprint”.
