Trane: Seven Ways to Accelerate Your Decarbonization Journey

Decarbonization isn’t just the right thing for the planet, it’s the right thing for any building manager looking to help to increase efficiency, streamline operations, and bring down costs.
 
If you’re not sure what decarbonization really means, you’re not alone. Simply put, building decarbonization is the process of reducing the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that your facility releases into the atmosphere. The EPA separates GHG emissions into three basic types. There are Scope 1 emissions which result from direct emissions at your facility. Scope 2 emissions are those generated by indirect emissions, like utilities that produce the energy you purchase from the electrical grid. Last are Scope 3 emissions which result from the activities of suppliers and vendors, or that arise from other aspects of your value chain.
