Eco Dream Affordable Housing Inc would like to test various technologies currently available with the use of its project home. If you are a manufacturer, vendor or supplier of green building supplies, please contact us.
Eco Dream Recommendations
- An expansive view of the building sector is needed to completely identify and exploit the full range of Green House Gases GHG-reduction opportunities. Such a view needs to consider future building construction (including life-cycle aspects of buildings materials, design, and demolition), use (including on-site power generation and its interface with the electric grid), and location (in terms of urban densitiesand access to employment and services).
- An integrated approach is needed to address GHG emissions from the U.S. building sector—one that coordinates across technical and policy solutions, integrates engineering approaches with architecturaldesign, considers design decisions within the realities of building operation, integrates green building with smart-growth concepts, and takes into account the numerous decision-makers within the fragmented building industry.
- Current building practices seriously lag best practices. Thus, vigorous market transformation and deployment programs are critical to success. They are also necessary to ensure that the next generation of low-GHG innovations is rapidly and extensively adopted.
| The GHG Protocol Initiative |
|
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative’s (GHG Protocol) goal is to help businesses better manage their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, create a GHG accounting platform to ensure that different trading schemes and other climate related initiatives adopt consistent approaches, and to generally expand GHG accounting capacity around the world.
The GHG Protocol Initiative has developed two documents to facilitate the accounting and reporting of GHG emissions from corporate inventories and GHG reduction projects:
- The Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Corporate Standard) provides step by step guidance for companies and other organisations to identify, calculate, and report their GHG footprint in a consistent, transparent, and credible manner. The requirements contained in this document provide the backbone for GHG corporate accounting practices around the world.
- The GHG Protocol for Project Accounting (Project Protocol) provides specific principles, concepts, and methods for quantifying and reporting GHG reductions—that is, the decreases in GHG emissions or the increases in GHG removals—from climate change mitigation projects.
These documents are used by companies, have been adopted by the International Standard Organization, and are endorsed by GHG initiatives like the Carbon Disclosure Project.
The GHG Protocol also provides practical tools with additional guidance to help companies calculate their GHG emissions from various sources. For a more detailed overview of the GHG Protocol, follow the links on the left or read the .pdf version of the GHG Protocol brochure.
