1.1
Human Impact on the environment

2. 2
When you look at the history of humanity it's basically a relationship between the two most complicated systems on Earth :Human society and nature.
Now , We are causing the devastation to our very foundation of our life system that has given us birth.
We should come out of the illusion that people are separate from nature.
3. Pollution
Since the industrial revolution, society has had a tendency to assume that the environment can absorb any amount of pollution.
Many of the most disastrous incidents of pollution involve industrial chemicals that are toxic or carcinogenic
3
Pollution from thermal power plant
4. Pollution and Acid rain
Rain and snow carry the sulfuric acid formedwhen sulfur reacts with water back to the surface in the form of acid rain.
It causes loss of species diversity in bodies of water.
Destruction of trees and organisms due to low pH levels in ground water.
Extinction of a lot of species.

Trees killed due to acid rains
5. Depletion of Ozone Layer
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a class of chemicals involved in ozone destruction.
Coolant in refrigerators and air conditioners propellant in aerosol dispensers release CFCs.
Ozone depletion will cause and increase in the number of people who develop skin cancer and cataract.

6. Global Warming
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere influences global temperatures.Global warming during Earth's current interglacial warmperiod has greatly altered our environment and the distribution and diversity of all life.
Global surface temperature increased 0.740.18C(1.330.32F) between thestart and the end of the 20th century
Broader effects are expected to include glacial retreat, arctic shrinkage, including long-term shrinkage of Greenland ice sheet, and worldwide sera level risedue to global warming.

7. Extinction of Species
Over the last 50 years, about half the worlds rain forests have been destroyed for pasture and farmland or for timber
Rain forests have the highest species diversity in Earth
It is estimated that at least 1/5 of the worlds animals and plants will become extinct over the next 50 years

8. Non-replaceable Resources

Fossil fuels: Fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and petroleum products onceused are not replaceableand will add global warming gasses in to the environment.

Loss of top soil: by repeatedly turning over soil to eliminate weeds, by allowing animals to overgraze ranges and pastures, and by practicing poor land management we permit the wind and rain to remove more and more
Pollution and depletion of ground water: Water seeps into aquifers at too slow a rate to replace the large amount of water being withdrawn for unnecessary use (watering lawns, washing cars, and running fountains)

9. Examples of Disastrous Events
In the early 1970s, Lake Erie was so polluted from large amounts of industrial chemicals that few fish could survive there
The Exxon Valdez ran aground on the Alaska coast in 1989, spilling 11 million gallons of oil and killing thousands of marine animals.Even today the evidence of damage to local wildlife continues to mount
UN estimates by the middle of the century there may be 150 million environmental refugees at any given time from climate change.

11. The 5 components of solving any environmental problem
11
Assessment
Risk analysis
Public education
Political action
Follow-through
12. Assessment
12
The gathering of information
Data collection
Performing experiments
Make predictions
13. Risk Analysis
13
Use the information from assessment to predict the consequences of environmental intervention
Evaluate the potential to solve the problem as well as any adverse effects the plan might create
14. Public Education
14
Inform the public
Explain the problem in understandable terms
Present alternative actions
Explain probable costs and results
15. Political Action
15
The public, through its elected officials, selects and implements a course of action.
Exercise your right to vote.
Write to elected officials.
Support special interest groups.
16. Global Warming Solutions
Reducing the amount of gas released in the atmosphere :
energy efficiency
renewable energy
vehicle technology solutions
Increase the efficiency of photosynthesis

17. Why aren't we responding to climate change?
First and foremost : economy
>>The greatest weapon of mass destruction is corporate economic globalization.
>>People think that, to implement eco-friendly measures
isexpensive.
Lack of awareness
>>Many people still dont know what is green house effect.
>>what extent it is damging our eco-system
17
18. Fundamental opportunity cost of economic growth
As the economy grows, it displaces, it encroaches upon the biosphere, and this is a fundamental cost
What would it cost us to take carbon dioxide out of the air and put oxygen back in it, which all the green things do for us for nothing.
What would it cost to pollinating all of the flowering plants.
In our modern globalized worldgrowth continues to be the focus of many corporations and governmentswho deplete our environment for economic gain.

19. What blaze can offer?

Blaze considered both environment and economyto design products which keep balance between both of them.

20. One of its kind is BLAZE occupancybased lighting system. 21. On an average 30% of the energyon lightingcan saved by implementing occupancy based lighting. 22. There are other indirect benefits from occupancy based lighting. Refer to annexure 1 19
23. How occupancy based lighting works (example)
Provide light when and where it is required an egress path for late night workers eliminates unnecessary energy usage after hours.
20
24. Estimates average saving potential for different space types using occupancy sensors
Private office 1350%
Conference room 2265%
Classroom 4046%
Restrooms 3090%
Corridors 3080%
Store areas (including warehouses) 4580%
21
25. Detection pattern of Occupancy sensors
22
26. Features Blaze Occupancy sensors
All occupancy detection sensors feature advanced robust wireless RF platform
Easy installation with out retrofit or reconstruction
On-board management selectable setting for maximum control without requiring advanced technical knowledge
Multiple rooms, HVAC and balcony doors easily accommodated with no additional wiring required
Occupancy detection only requires single occupant movement.
Wide range of cost effective and reliable occupancy sensor areavailable with BLAZE

27. ROI- Conclusions
Average ROI for 30% saving: 18-24 months
Note: Here we have assumed that the Lighting fixtures are ON 12 -14 hours per day and there is a saving of only 30% [averaged considering all the areas in a typical corporate setup] of the energy for Lighting through Occupancy sensors.
This also includes savings through indirect savings.

28. What it contributes to environment
Suppose if you going to save minimum of10000KWh per month for you whole building see how it will help environment
