Human Impact on the

environment


2/26

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.


3/26

Pollution

Since the industrial revolution,

society has had a tendency to

assume that the environment

can absorb any amount ofpollution.

Many of the most disastrous

incidents of pollution involve

industrial chemicals that are

toxic or carcinogenic

3

Pollution from thermal power plant


4/26

Pollution and Acid rain

Rain and snow carry the sulfuric

acid formed when 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 andorganisms due to low pH levels

in ground water.

Extinction of a lot of species.

4

Trees killed due to acid rains


5/26

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.

Global Warming

Carbon dioxide in the

atmosphere influences global

temperatures.Global warming

during Earth's current

interglacial warm period has

greatly altered our environment

and the distribution and diversity

of all life.

Global surface temperature

increased

0.74 0.18 C (1.33 0.32 F)between the start and the end

of the 20th century

Broader effects are expected to

include glacial retreat, arctic

shrinkage, including long-term

shrinkage of Greenland ice6

Non-replaceable Resources

Fossil fuels: Fossil fuels likecoal, natural gas and petroleum

products once used are not

replaceable and 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 thewind 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replace the large amount ofwater being withdrawn for

Examples of Disastrous Events

In the early 1970s, Lake Eriewas so polluted from large

amounts of industrial chemicals

that few fish could survive there

The Exxon Valdez ran around

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 ofthe century there may be 150

million environmental refugees

at any given time from climate

change.

The 5 components of solving any environmental

problem

11

Assessment

Risk analysis

Public education

Political action

Follow-through


12/26

Assessment

12

The gathering of information

Data collection

Performing experiments

Make predictions


13/26

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


14/26

Public Education

14

Inform the public

Explain the problem in understandable terms

Present alternative actions

Explain probable costs and results


15/26

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.


16/26

Global Warming Solutions

Reducing the amount of gas released in the atmosphere :

energy efficiency

renewable energy

vehicle technology solutions

Increase the efficiency of photosynthesis

16


17/26

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

is expensive.

Lack of awareness

>>Many people still dont know what is green house effect.>>what extent it is damging our eco-system

17


18/26

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 world growth continues to be the focus of

many corporations and governments who deplete our environment foreconomic gain.

What BLAZE can offer?

Blaze considered both environment and economy to design products

which keep balance between both of them.

One of its kind is BLAZE occupancy based lighting system.

On an average 30% of the energy on lighting can saved by

implementing occupancy based lighting.

There are other indirect benefits from occupancy based lighting like:

reduction in Air conditioning bills etc.

19


20/26

How occupancy based lighting works (example)

Provide light when and where it is requiredan egress path for late night workers eliminates unnecessary energy usage

after hours.

20


21/26

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%

Detection pattern of Occupancy sensors

23/26

Features Blaze Occupancy sensors

All occupancy detection sensors feature advanced robust wirelessRF platform

Easy installation with out retrofit or reconstruction

On-board management selectable setting for maximum controlwithout 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 are available with BLAZE23


24/26

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 Lightingthrough Occupancy sensors.

This also includes savings through indirect savings.

What it contributes to environment

Suppose if you going to save minimumof10000KWh per month for you whole building see

how it will help environment
