What is an Energy and Carbon Audit?
An energy audit, also known as a carbon audit or carbon assessment, systematically measures and analyzes greenhouse-gas emissions across operations, supply chains and activities.
Scope 2: Energy Emissions
- Purchased electricity from the grid
- District heating and cooling
- Purchased steam for industrial processes
Scope 3: Value Chain
- Purchased goods, capital goods and logistics
- Travel, commuting, waste and leased assets
- Product use, end-of-life and investments
Why audits matter
Climate impact is also human impact.
Food Security
Extreme weather, changing precipitation and ocean acidification threaten livelihoods and nutrition.
Water Availability
Drought, glacial melt, flooding and contamination intensify water stress.
Public Health
Air pollution, heat, disease vectors and displacement create significant health burdens.
Economic Displacement
Sea-level rise and climate migration disrupt exposed communities and operations.
