An energy audit is a comprehensive evaluation of the energy consumption and performance of your business. It involves collecting and analyzing data on your energy use patterns, such as how much electricity, gas, or other fuels you use, when and where you use them, and for what purposes. It also involves inspecting your building envelope, lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning
Following the Paris Agreement, businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental impact. TERAO can help to assess the carbon footprint of companies, from the upstream to downstream emissions. Additionally, TERAO assists its clients in achieving their sustainability goals. We invite you to read the following interview of Devin Barta, Direction of Operations at AHF Products 1 – Can
Thermal comfort is the state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment. It is influenced by air temperature, humidity, air movement, clothing, and activity level. Achieving thermal comfort is important for your well-being and productivity, energy consumption, and environmental impact. Energy consumption in buildings is mainly driven by the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, which account
Factories consume a large amount of energy for various operations, such as heating, cooling, lighting, machinery, etc. A significant portion of this energy is wasted as heat, which not only increases the operational costs but also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. Thermal optimization can help factories to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint, while also enhancing
Carbon reduction and carbon offset are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings and implications. In this article, we will explain what they are, why they matter, and how they can help you reduce your environmental impact. Carbon reduction is the process of decreasing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that you produce, either directly
Energy efficiency is the practice of using less energy to achieve the same or better results. It can help businesses and organizations save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve their environmental performance. Energy efficiency is important for businesses because it can lower their energy bills, enhance their reputation, and increase their productivity. According to a report by the International

Energy management is more than just reducing energy consumption; it encompasses the strategic planning, monitoring, and optimization of energy usage within an organization in different sectors, such as industry, transport, buildings and households. It involves a comprehensive understanding of energy flows, identifying areas of waste, and implementing measures to enhance overall efficiency. Energy is essential for human development and economic
The building envelope is the physical barrier between the indoor and outdoor environment of a building. It includes the walls, roof, windows, doors and other elements that separate the interior space from the exterior climate. The building envelope plays a crucial role in determining the energy performance, thermal comfort and indoor air quality of a building. In this article, we
Natural daylighting is a design strategy that aims to maximize the use of natural light in buildings while minimizing the need for artificial lighting and cooling. It can enhance the comfort, health, and productivity of the occupants, as well as reduce the energy consumption and environmental impact of the building. It can also reduce the need for artificial lighting and
Carbon neutrality is a concept that aims to reduce the impact of human activities on the environment by minimizing or offsetting greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve carbon neutrality, the amount of emissions produced by a source, such as a building, must be equal to or less than the amount of emissions removed or avoided by that source or another one.
Building Fit-out and its Carbon Behaviour China’s ambitious target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 has significant implications for the building sector, which is responsible for nearly half of all global carbon emissions. Specifically, building operations account for 28% of these emissions while new construction contributes to 21%. In China, construction generates 21.6% of emissions, with 28% coming from new
What is an energy consumption baseline? A baseline serves as a point of reference or comparison for evaluating another value or situation. It allows us to determine whether the measured data is distinct, unusual, or requires special attention, or if it aligns closely with the baseline. By comparing against this reference point, we can assess the significance and characteristics of
Thermal comfort in factories plays a pivotal role in ensuring a productive and healthy working environment for employees. Maintaining optimal temperatures and humidity levels not only enhances productivity but also fosters employee satisfaction and well-being. As industrial operations continue to evolve, adopting the right approach to ensure thermal comfort in factories becomes crucial. This operation needs to be done while
