Managing Your Carbon Footprint
Course Objectives
Do you know the size of your organization's carbon footprint? How about the amount of kilowatts your computers use on a daily basis? If you don't know these stats right now, there's a good chance you'll have to in the near future. It's good business today, and it's going to form a large part of tomorrow's regulatory environment.
The European community is pursuing regulation on the ecologically friendly design of energy-using products (EuPs) through Directive 2005/32/EC and it will also require manufacturers to go back to the energy used when extracting the raw materials needed to make its product, including all subassemblies and components.
