DOE to Revise Commercial Energy Efficiency Standards

August 14, 2013 Add Comment Edit

The Department of Energy (DOE) will revise commercial energy efficiency standards for metal halide lamps, commercial refrigeration equipment, walk-in coolers/freezers and electric motors in 2014. This move is expected to lower pollution and save $3.8 billion by 2035.

The specific timetables are as follows:

Metal halide lamps - January 2014
Commercial refrigeration - February 2014
Walk-in coolers and freezers - April 2014
Electric motors - May 2014

According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), these revisions will cut air, water and climate change pollution while saving businesses and consumers an estimated $156 million per month. The ACEEE estimates that the new energy efficiency standards will reduce climate change causing pollution by 26 million metric tons annually and reduce smog, soot and acid rain.

An increasing number of companies are re-evaluating their environment, health and safety (EH&S) programs. This re-assessment is leading to an expanded role for EH&S as companies look to not only ensure compliance, but also to better understand their risks and opportunities and deliver on business and sustainability objectives.

Traditionally, compliance has been considered a ‘burden’ and a drain on an organizations resources, time and budget. In addition, ineffective environmental management can expose organizations to significant risk and increase operational complexities.

In this live webcast, you will hear how best-in class companies are addressing the expanded role of EH&S and applying vital technology to transform the burden of compliance into an opportunity to drive operational efficiencies, enhance sustainability performance, and reduce overall risks.

The Guru's Guide to Implementing and Maintaining an Environmental Compliance System

April 25, 2012 Add Comment Edit

Businesses need to address numerous and more often than not, complex environmental regulatory compliance obligations in order to operate. Savvy organizations take a proactive approach to this matter, implementing centralized and automated Environmental Enterprise Resource Planning (EERP) Systems.

However, having the best technology is not sufficient to guarantee a successful environmental compliance operation. From the early stages of implementation and integration to user adoption and training, there's a lot to take into consideration when setting up an Environmental ERP system, whether large or small.

Read this new white paper and take a closer look at the Guru's Guide to Implementing and Maintaining an Environmental Compliance System.
