Aw 3053 0904 Us Schn

Using software and expert engineering services, the module is designed to provide accurate monitoring, modeling and reporting of CO2e emissions to convert energy data into useful greenhouse gas information. It tracks emissions from combustion boilers, furnaces, vehicles, chemical production or controlled process equipment, as well as emissions from an organization’s utilities that emit carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) into the atmosphere. The module delivers a customized set of energy modeling, dimensional analysis and visualization tools that deliver information needed to support a complete energy and emissions management program. Reports include aggregate CO2e output vs. target vs. base year to track emission reductions project performance, and multisource CO2e output vs. target to compare the emissions performance of various business entities. A data presentation layer provides information via a Web-enabled dashboard.
