Altair Energy Partners can help companies to comply with the Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions standards by reducing CO2 footprint as part of a larger strategy to comply with ESG standards.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, which are three key factors used to assess the sustainability and ethical impact of investments and businesses. In the context of environmental considerations, ESG focuses on evaluating the environmental impact of companies, their commitment to sustainability, and their efforts to address environmental challenges. Here are some key aspects of ESG environmental factors:

Energy Audit:

Begin by conducting a thorough energy audit of the building to identify areas of significant heat loss. This can involve inspecting the building envelope, HVAC systems, ventilation systems, lighting, and controls. Gather data on energy consumption, insulation levels, air leakage, and equipment efficiency.

Data Analysis:

Analyze the collected data to determine the extent of heat losses and their potential impact on energy consumption. Identify the areas that contribute the most to heat loss and prioritize them for improvement.

Efficiency Upgrades:

Based on the audit findings, develop a plan to improve the building’s energy efficiency. This may include upgrading insulation in the walls, roof, and floors, replacing inefficient windows and doors with energy-efficient ones, sealing air leaks, and improving thermal resistance in the building envelope.

HVAC System Optimization:

Evaluate the efficiency of the HVAC systems and consider upgrading to energy-efficient models. Inspect ductwork for leaks, insulate pipes, and ensure proper system balancing. Install programmable thermostats and implement temperature setback strategies to optimize heating and cooling operations.

Ventilation System Enhancements:

Assess the ventilation system’s efficiency and consider installing energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) to recover heat from exhaust air. Ensure proper ventilation rates are maintained while minimizing heat losses.

Lighting Efficiency:

Evaluate the lighting systems and consider replacing outdated fixtures with energy-efficient alternatives, such as LEDs. Install occupancy sensors or daylight sensors to optimize lighting usage and reduce excess heat generation.

Controls and Automation:

Implement advanced building management systems (BMS) to optimize temperature control, monitor energy consumption, and schedule equipment operation based on occupancy patterns. This can help minimize unnecessary heating and cooling and improve overall energy efficiency.

Monitoring and Maintenance:

Establish a monitoring and maintenance plan to ensure that energy-saving measures are consistently implemented and functioning effectively. Regularly review energy consumption data and make adjustments as needed.

Staff Training and Awareness:

Educate building occupants and staff about energy-efficient practices, such as setting thermostats appropriately, reporting air leaks, and practicing energy conservation. Promote awareness of the importance of reducing heat losses and engaging everyone in energy-saving efforts.

Continuous Improvement:

Monitor energy consumption and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of implemented measures. Identify any areas that require further optimization or new technologies that can contribute to additional heat loss reductions.

Remember that each building is unique, and the solutions implemented should be tailored to its specific characteristics and energy usage patterns. Consulting with energy professionals or specialists in building performance can provide valuable insights and expertise throughout the solution study process.
