We love our home, our car and the nice comfortable office we work in and why shouldn’t we, after all this is Australia! We love the clear blue skies, the crisp feel of fresh air, the beautiful wildlife and the impressive fauna; this is Australia the greatest island in the world. Unfortunately, thanks to global warming the good life as we know it will not continue unless each and every one of us does our share to protect it by not just trying but actually doing our effort in reducing our environmental footprint. Australia contributes 89 million metric tons* of carbon from fossil fuel CO2 emissions, is the world’s fourth largest coal producer and by far the world’s largest coal exporter. Australia’s energy economy is dominated by coal, in 2004 CO2 emissions from coal consumption accounted for 50% of our total emissions. Natural gas consumption has risen sharply since 1969 to account for 15.9% of our fossil-fuel CO2 emissions. Our beautiful environment as we see it today simply cannot sustain the ongoing effects of carbon emissions, we all need to do something and to do it quick! EnviroTemp is your answer. Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors in 2006 totaled 576.0 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2-e) under the Kyoto accounting provisions applying to Australia’s 108% emissions target**. One of the largest contributors to CO2 emissions is the actual consumption of energy. The more we need the more we need produced. One of our greatest solutions is to simply reduce the amount of energy we rely on. So what can we do? We can replace our light bulbs, switch off lights when not in use, we can even switch off our TV’s and other appliances from the power points. This is all great and doing this collectively will have a great effect on our environmental footprint. But we want to do more, don’t we? So how can we? One of the biggest slices in the energy consumption pie which in many cases can account for more than half a slice and more than half the black balloons we send up each day, 50% or more of our total consumption is refrigerated air conditioning systems, just like the ones in most of our homes, workplaces, shopping malls. Okay, so in an effort to make our black carbon filled pie smaller we decide to cut a thinner slice for our refrigerated air condition systems and take the simplest approach by deciding to sacrifice our comfort by setting the temperatures warmer in the summer and colder in the winter, sure the trade off will be lower energy consumption (a smaller slice) which in percentages will be a portion of our largest area of consumption, but we are now less comfortable. What’s the cost of that? Our productivity could go down; we may become less enthused about going to work, we find it difficult to sleep some nights we become more agro because our homes and work places are no longer comfortable like they were once before and so on goes the effects of sacrificing our comfort. It does not have to be this way! EnviroTemp will help the Environment by reducing the overall size of the pie and allow you to maintain comfortable Temp-eratures by improving the efficiency of your refrigerated air conditioning and reverse cycle units so they use less energy making your air conditionings slice of the pie smaller. By improving your unit’s efficiency it will cool you better in the summer and warm you better in the winter; you’ll be happier knowing that you’re significantly reducing your environmental footprint and taking a smaller slice of the black carbon filled pie!
