The overall structure is to calculate the total electricity consumption and convert to CO2 emissions by applying conversion factors of electricity. There are normally two methods for carbon emission calculation (WBCSD/WRI,2004). One is top-down method. Energy consumption data is gathered at an aggregate level, such as annual electricity consumption for the whole company. The other one is bottom-up method in which Individual process can be controlled separately and their energy usage can be measured individually. Generally, the top-down approach can provide more reliable overall emission estimates, but the calculation is usually on a company level. This method could not reflect how the energy is consumed. while the bottom-up technique is …show more content…

Generally, four types of data will be used in this paper: Data provided by the warehouse Secondary data from government department or green organizations Industrial data from previous research or industrial standard Website
The warehouse provided limited data. A large range of the parameters are estimated from previous research or industrial standard. Data likes the warehouse size, temperature of the storage, the flow of the goods, average inventory level and electricity consumption is provided by the warehouse; Some parameters in the model are difficult to measure, such as U values and emission factors are gathered from government published document. The warehouse related energy parameters, for examples the lighting energy parameters and MHE energy parameter are estimated from previous researchers. The daily temperature for the city is from a weather history website weather database. Data analysis
The data analysis is consist of four parts. The first part will use the model to calculate emission by HVAC, MHE and ligting respectively as well as calculate monthly total emissions. The separate CO2 emissions are used to analyse how warehouse consumes energy; the total emission will be used to compare with the result from the top-down method. The second part will validate the model with the CO2 emission estimated by top-down methd. The third part will calculate the
Once I had completed the excel spreadsheet containing my family’s total annual CO2 production, I was dumbfounded at how high the amounts were. My family’s electricity was 7374.33, and my annual CO2 from gasoline consumption was 11325.6. I came up with the calculation by completing the following series of step. To start get you will need to figure out how many watts an appliance has. Then you will take that number and multiply it by the number of hours it is on and divide that by 1000. This will give you the kilowatt-hours for a particular appliance. Next, you would take the total kilowatt-hours and multiply that by seven days to get your weekly usage. You would need to multiply the weekly usage by fifty-two weeks to get your annual kilowatt-hours. Now, by
A Pareto Chart will allow us to look at energy consumption over a period of time and break it down to what was the major factor leading
On 01-07-2016 at 1715 hours I was dispatched to Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center in reference to a sexual assault.
The heavy usage of machinery and fossil fuels required in industrialization leads to high amounts of carbon emissions. The mass amount of raw materials used in each industry accumulates and
The Core lecture was titled “Me, Myself, and I, D or R: Politics through Red and Blue Colored Glass” and lectured by Alex Theodoridis, who is a doctor of political science. The main argument of the lecture was that polarization will continue to increase between the parties until they are no longer able to close the gap of polarization. The main 3 groups of the lecture focus on were psychology, aggregate, and 2016 election. Psychology is basically how all individuals group themselves with it each of the parties. The way many identify themselves in each parties are our attachment to the parties, influence from parents, and new perspective change. Under these condition we identify ourselves to the parties. This explains that much of identification are influence by many factors and much polarization does come to play. From the article “Polarization in the Age of Obama” explains that polarization can affect us in deciding whether or
The purpose of my lifecycle assessment is to reduce the energy consumption of the lighting within my home by changing the light bulbs from CFL to LED. While, CFL are more efficient than the old traditional incandescent light bulbs, LED are more efficient and use less energy than both. Their initial cost is higher but will last longer and save more money in the long term. CO2e (Carbon dioxide emissions) during production, manufacturing, operating, and disposal are going to be analyzed. There are currently 10 CFL light bulbs within the house as discussed in assignment one. Each one of these would be replaced with a LED light bulb. The resources to produce and transport the LEDs and the resources required to dispose of CFLs need to be considered
In recent years our country has had many debates over what must be done to lessen the amount of oil that our country consumes. It is well known that we need to make some type of change to help not only the environment, but also lessen our reliance on imported oil. President Bush recently announced his new plan that could someday greatly reduce that amount of oil that Americans use by replacing oil with hydrogen fuel cells. Although this plan is a step in the right direction, it is not the answer. There are far too many downsides that could actually hurt our country in the long run. One problem is that the plan proposed by Bush will take far too long before any changes will be seen.
Americans should conserve energy because of the cost, the impact on the environment, and the economy. As each year goes by americans are using more and more energy. Our electricity's price is slowly raising up which cost more money.
Higher education is a time where an individual decides what career they want to peruse by the classes they take, this time of their development also showcases there many interests as it relates to the profession that they want to examine. When it comes to assisting the person that has questions about career and jobs, there are many resources available that will be able to support them in that. The following is a scenario about an individual that has questions about his future in a higher education setting. Kobe is a sophomore in college and doesn’t know what to do when it comes to his future, he has taken many classes his freshmen year of University but not of them were of interest when it comes to a career that he wants to peruse. Kobe’s
Inventory analysis is the data collection portion of a LCA and includes a quantified list of all inputs and outputs involving the entire life cycle of the concerned system. LCI involves estimating the energy and materials consumed by the system, the energy efficiency of the system’s components, and the emissions to air, land, and water by variant processes and components of the system. The process of data collection is the most time-consuming and resource-intensive step of the LCA. The reuse of data from other studies can simplify the work; however, assuring the data are representative is essential. LCI can be utilized to discover improvement opportunities and determine life cycle stages that present the most and least detrimental impacts [4].
Warehousing accouts for more or less the same portion of carbon emission in both retail and e-tail options as suggested by the chart in Figure 2.
Energy is a crucial necessity and with the ever increasing need for it and the high and fluctuating prices of oil, researchers are constantly coming up with newer and more sophisticated alternative sources of energy. However, energy comes at a cost, as it is either expensive or it possesses high health risks. This essay presents the concept of energy by discussing the two major types of energy, the various forms it could take, including renewable sources of energy, energy conservation and above all it talks about the safest and cleanest alternatives.
The United States consumes more energy than needed, compared to the rest of the world. However, to properly address such an issue as over consumption of energy, one first must understand what “energy” is.
When the new Southeast Polk High School opened they added many new energy saving products. This included installing geothermal heating under the high school cutting back on the cost of heating such a large building. Many new windows help save on energy used to light the building along with automatic lights that turn off after several minutes without movement. The new high school shows how easy it is to save money and help the environment. Renewable energy is good for all aspects of the U.S, providing jobs, economical growth, environmental cleanliness, and new research for improving energy efficiency. Therefore the United States should use renewable energy to benefit the economy and environment.
Humans today are using much more electricity than we need to in our houses and this is impacting our world more then we realise. Although electricity is a huge advantage to humans it has the complete opposite effects on our environment. By using more electricity, we are using more of the earth’s resources and if we keep going down this road then we are going to run out. The solution for this mass overuse of energy is to build houses which are more energy efficient. Features like LED lightbulbs, insulating and even positioning your house in the correct position for natural airflow instead of using air conditioning are all ways we can help improve this problem.
