Scope 1, 2 & 3 GHG Emissions
Greenhouse gases are defined as gas compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrogen oxide (N2O) that absorb infrared radiation and trap heat within Earth’s atmosphere, thus creating changes in climate and weather patterns. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol was established by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development…

Motor Control Center Cooling Decarbonization
Motor control centers (MCCs) are present in many industrial facilities, and typically require active space conditioning to ensure that excess heat generated from the electrical equipment is removed from the center. The cooling load can be viewed as a low-temperature heat resource, and be used to offset low-temperature thermal demand at the industrial facility. This…
