75F solutions save energy and reduce carbon emissions

The decarbonisation of the carbon-intensive construction industry and the reduction of energy consumption in buildings have emerged as prominent topics at COP27.

Latest developments to contain emissions issues
Carbon emissions in the world are at an all-time high, with 40 percent of carbon emissions and 30 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions coming from buildings. To curb this issue, the building management and construction industries have made efforts with the help of their efficient building management solutions. Many countries have implemented reforms and are working towards eliminating emissions by 2050, while India hopes to achieve a status of net-zero emissions by 2070.

By 2030, approximately 12.6 Gton of global CO2 emissions will be generated by buildings. In the energy sector, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 12.5 Gton. The industry sector can reduce these emissions by 7.3 Gton annually by adopting passive or renewable energy-based heating and cooling systems and increasing energy efficiency. The conversion of high-emitting processes to low-carbon, sustainable alternatives is encouraged across all sectors. By adopting the cities and homes of the future to a low-carbon era and modernising the existing infrastructure, we will be able to reduce emissions by 5.9 Gton.

75F contributing to learning gained from COP27
At COP27, the decarbonisation of the carbon-intensive construction industry and the reduction of energy consumption in buildings have emerged as prominent topics. Buildings significantly affect our transition to a future with fewer carbon emissions. An energy-efficient building will have reduced energy, water, and maintenance costs. Moreover, an increase in the number of sensors installed in smart buildings will result in the deployment of AI, providing building operators with additional data. This information can assist building operators in devising more effective strategies to reduce energy costs by maximising energy usage.

Creating a connected and forward-looking experience in buildings is becoming increasingly possible due to the proliferation of smart technologies. 75F provides solutions for environmentally friendly and efficient buildings in terms of energy use. Our solutions reduce the amount of energy used by 30 percent while lowering carbon emissions. Our objective is to enhance the productivity of the occupants by improving their level of comfort and the quality of the air inside the building, all while conserving energy and the natural environment.

IoT devices reduce energy consumption in buildings
IoT devices in homes and commercial spaces have allowed businesses to monitor their energy consumption and make their buildings more efficient by lowering their energy needs. All buildings, whether residential, commercial, or industrial, have a big effect on the environment around them and the overall cost of energy use.

By installing IoT sensors all over a structure, a business can collect data in real-time on the building’s energy consumption and relay it to a centralised location for study. IoT enables companies to track their machinery, HVAC, water heating, large refrigeration, and lighting systems individually. Any business can benefit from installing IoT devices in their buildings, such as smart thermostats and lighting systems, from cutting down on electricity use and improving their environmental impact.

Our smart, self-learning system improves indoor air quality, reduce energy costs, and reveals previously unknown information about how commercial buildings use their space.

Key takeaway about decarbonisation in commercial buildings
An increasing number of cities and countries are making public commitments to decarbonise buildings and achieving net-zero carbon emissions. Taking the necessary actions needed to reach net-zero carbon emissions by at least the year 2070 would be a massive step towards a more sustainable future. Since the built environment is a significant source of energy-related emissions, changing the building sector on a global scale will be necessary to reach net-zero goals.

To improve industrial energy efficiency, we need to contribute to the transformation of markets for products and services that are energy efficient. It supports sustainable energy solutions that make industries more productive and better able to deal with climate change, boosting green jobs and growth. Some examples of these solutions include implementing industrial energy efficiency standards, smart grids based on renewable energy, renewable energy for industrial applications, and climate-resilient industries.

Improvements are a priority to enhance climate mitigation
Millions of people worldwide are getting sick or are more likely to get sick because of climate change. The increasing destructiveness of severe weather events affects poor and marginalised communities the most. The rise in global temperature that has already occurred is causing extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, floods, hurricanes, and tropical storms that are getting stronger. Because of all these things, the effects on human health are getting worse and are likely to worsen quickly.

To prevent the effects of climate change from getting severe, the world’s energy system needs to be completely switched from fossil fuels to renewables. Access to accurate weather, water, and climate information and services will become more important to make energy infrastructure more resilient and help with the energy transition.

Growing energy infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to environmental risks. As a result, it is essential to evaluate the information provided by both past and potential future climate scenarios regarding the changes in climate patterns and the increased frequency of extreme weather events. Since the weather and climate greatly impact how well renewable energy systems work, better weather and climate information and services are needed during the transition to clean energy to ensure reliable energy production and the possibility of reaching Net Zero.

Net zero plans and science-based targets for buildings
In this crucial decade for climate action, the Net-Zero Standard provides a clear roadmap for businesses to bring their net-zero plans in line with science. Science-based targets give companies a straightforward way to cut down on emissions.

Using the Net-Zero Standard, everyone can have a common, science-based understanding of what it means to be net-zero. It assures corporate leaders that their short-and long-term goals are consistent with climate science, which is crucial for maintaining a livable planet.

The most effective and scientifically sound way to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C is to reduce emissions throughout the value chain rapidly. This is the central focus of the Net-Zero Standard, and companies must make it their top priority. The Net-Zero Standard considers all of a company’s emissions, including those produced by their processes, the electricity and heat purchased, and those generated by suppliers and end-users.

Companies that follow the Net-Zero Standard must set short-term and long-term goals based on science-based targets. This means cutting emissions quickly and slashing them in half over the next 30 years. Organisations must make almost no emissions and neutralise residual emissions that are difficult to eliminate. A business is only considered to have reached net zero when it has reached its science-based long- term goal. Most companies would have to set long-term goals to cut their emissions by at least 90–95 percent by 2050.
