Green Practices Guideline for Services Sector

The scope for Energy in the Services sector includes four sub-indicators: Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Energy Management System, and Emission Reduction. SUB-INDICATOR REQUIREMENT OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE FOR ASSESSMENT EXAMPLE GREEN PRACTICES ENERGY EFFICIENCY Targeted percentage of electricity and fuel consumption reduction achieved by the organisation • Meter energy usage readings • Bills of quantities for fuels • Certificate of Analysis (COA) for fuels • Optimise energy flow in the production processes through heat optimisation. • Reduce energy consumption and emissions from building operation and activities. RENEWABLE ENERGY Targeted percentage of renewable energy used by the organisation • Meter energy usage readings • Bills of quantities for fuels • COA for fuels • Utilisation of renewable energy from process residues (waste materials, waste heat or solid waste), or from auxiliary facilities (solar, wind or equivalent). • Application of waste-to-energy technologies. • Installation of solar panel for energy supply to reduce electricity consumption. ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Demonstration of an Energy Management System set up within the organisation Records supporting the setup, operation, and performance achieved by the Energy Management System • To establish policy or standard in the organisation which clearly indicates the green practice in mission and vision statement. • Periodically report on energy usage as a monitoring tool. • Developing and implementing a systematic procedure for energy management system. EMISSION REDUCTION Targeted percentage of emissions reduction achieved by the organisation GHG Inventory reports • Switching to low emission fuels. • Reduce energy use by utilising renewable energy. 40 GREEN PRACTICES GUIDELINE FOR SERVICES SECTOR
