Energy Management and Audit Report 1) Introduction For over the past few years‚ the planet Earth is being damaged by human activities. Buildings play a major role in that. They contribute to approximately 40% of the greenhouse gas emissions globally. Over the past 30 years‚ 10% of the ice burgs have been melted due to the rising temperature of Earth. The rise in temperature is caused by greenhouse gas. Therefore‚ green building is important today. Green building has both positive and negative
