THE CLEANER PRODUCTION-ENERGY EFFICIENCY (CP-EE)
MANUAL (Guidelines for the Integration
of Cleaner Production and Energy Efficiency) .........................on
an easy-to-navigate CD-ROM, and now available as a downloadable
version(zipped file).
From Cleaner Production and Energy Efficiency to integrated
CP-EE:
Cleaner Production (CP) and Energy Efficiency (EE) are established
and powerful strategies helping enterprises throughout the world
to reduce costs and generate profits by reducing waste. Integration
of CP and EE provides synergies that broaden the scope of their
individual application and give more effective results-both environmental
and economic. CP-EE integration is the subject of UNEP DTIE's CP-EE
Manual, published as a fully navigable CD-ROM.
What's in the Manual?
The Manual provides a methodology for integration-useful to managers
and technical staff alike-coupled with a set of 'tools' that CP-EE
practitioners can use directly in the field.
The Manual is in three parts, with 'hyperlinks' allowing users to
go straight to the sections most relevant to their needs.
Part-1 lays the foundations
for CP-EE integration, introducing its benefits and developing a
five-step methodology. Users are then walked through the 18 tasks
that make up the steps, helped at each step by a 'Running Example'
in the form of completed Worksheets taken from an actual CP-EE assessment.
The worksheets are an important tool for CP-EE assessment and the
Manual provides fully editable, blank versions that users can print
and adapt to their own needs.
Part-2 contains two Technical
Modules. The first Module provides background information on energy-using
systems that will help in identifying areas of focus for CP-EE assessments
and includes further editable Worksheets. The second presents Energy
Efficient Technologies.
Part-3 is the Manual's tools
and resources section. It includes: Checklists; Thumb Rules; Measuring
Instruments; and an extensive list of Information Resources. A
fully operational version of UNEP's 'GHG Indicator' is an additional
feature of the tools section. Users can access this spreadsheet-based
calculator to compute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their
facilities.
Who can use the Manual?
Concerns such as reducing waste, saving money or reducing GHG emissions
should be shared by everyone in an enterprise. By combining a methodology
that encourages involvement of staff at all levels with factual
information, technical data and practical tools, the CP-EE Manual
fosters everyone's involvement and allows both technical specialists
and managers to take effective action.
Features of the CD-ROM format
Hyperlinks are provided throughout the Manual, allowing users to
navigate smoothly and easily within the Manual itself and to access
tools that are either on the CD-ROM or are Internet based. For example:
- Hyperlinks on the 'Contents' page and 'Bookmarks' allow users
to jump straight to the topics of their choice.
- Editable, blank worksheets can be opened individually by simply
clicking on the corresponding Completed Worksheet in the Manual.
- UNEP's 'GHG Indicator' can be opened directly from the Contents
page or from a link in the Manual.
- Hyperlinks connect directly to Internet resources.
