SBC on energy efficiency for SMEs Dec 2015
This presentation helps small and medium sized business become a more profitable business by helping them increase their energy efficiency.
SMEs are struggling with the ever rising energy costs that are adding to the overhead. It is also hard to get a proper handle on analysing bills and managing energy in a small to medium sized organisation as there is no money for a dedicated person to manage this area. And increasingly customers expect businesses to do the right thing and to be more sustainable. At the intersection of these three forces is the fear that competitors might do a better job.
This presentation helps SMEs think about ways on how they can manage their energy consumption so they spend less on utilities. This increases the bottom line and as a side effect, the business also understands and controls their energy consumption. If the success stories are shared well, customers will think positively about the company, which will further increase profits. Businesses will feel so much more confident about doing their bit and will have a more profitable business by following the steps that are outlined in this presentation.

Webinar: Reduce Your Building Operating Costs with Energy Data
It takes timely, high quality data to achieve the insights needed to identify cost reduction opportunities for your buildings. But where do you start? How do you collect utility data then use it to benchmark for sustainability reporting and reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions?
In Urjanet's webinar “Reduce Building Operating Costs With Energy Data” we discuss how to cut operating costs at the building level and across all the facilities within your organization. This session features Chris Happ, CEO of Goby LLC. Goby’s SaaS-based SeaSuite™ platform allows its users to track sustainability in a single cloud-based interface. SeaSuite™ customers average 5-10% cost reductions just by tracking energy consumption.
“Goby’s SeaSuite™ customers can fight climate change through greater energy efficiency,” Happ said. “In order to achieve insights to cut carbon emissions, it takes accurate data from a facility’s monthly energy bills.”
Now, by partnering with Urjanet, Goby is enabling its SeaSuite™ users with access to near real-time, big data services that automate the collection, normalization and delivery of data from a rapidly growing list of more than 900 utility providers. Instead of relying on data entry clerks to manually input data, Urjanet’s proprietary platform aggregates data from thousands of sources to deliver it directly into applications such as SeaSuite™.
The webinar panel will also include Jerome Montrone, SVP of Beacon Capital, who will speak to how his team uses Goby’s technology powered with energy data to help improve performance. He is currently overseeing the sustainability and energy programs for Beacon’s entire US and European Portfolio, and completed more than 60 LEED projects including LEED NC GOLD Certification for Beacon’s Tour First property, the tallest building in France. His successful proprietary energy savings programs have led to significant reductions in Beacon’s carbon impact and energy use and were recognized by Beacon Capital Partners winning several ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year awards and a Sustained Excellence Award last year. He is also member of the Real Estate Round Table.

The changing role of practice nurses
The document summarizes key changes being made to the UK's National Health Service (NHS) as outlined in the government's Health and Social Care Bill. It discusses the bill's proposals to devolve power to general practitioner-led clinical groups and local authorities while establishing an independent NHS commissioning board. It also notes implications for practice nursing, including threats to nursing leadership and specialist posts in the short term, but potential opportunities if nurses seize new roles and influence policy development.
Role of Community Matrons in shifts in settings of care
The document discusses the political context driving healthcare reforms in the UK and the expected shift toward more community-based care delivery away from hospitals. Community matrons and practice nurses can contribute to this shift by participating in whole-systems approaches, sharing knowledge and best practices, and participating in ongoing service redesign. The new model of care should focus on prevention, self-care, coordination, and consistent high-quality care both in specialist and community settings through greater integration between primary and secondary care teams.
Diffusion innovation myths_realities
1) There are myths about innovation diffusion that are not entirely accurate. For example, the idea that the public sector is not innovative when in reality public sector innovation tends to stay local.
2) The document discusses 5 myths and their corresponding realities about innovation diffusion. One myth is that diffusion is just an informational problem, but the reality is that diffusion requires organizational and behavioral changes.
3) Another myth is that innovation and diffusion are separate sequential processes, but the reality is that they are intertwined in a process of "innofusion" that is social and iterative from the outset.
Challenge of Sustainability
The document discusses different types of networks that can be used to sustain opportunities for normal birth, including helping and sharing networks, best practice networks, and innovation networks. It provides the example of the Pan London ICU Network, where ICU practitioners voluntarily meet every two months to share best practices and advice, improving ICU care across London. It poses questions about how a Normal Birth network could be run, what the leadership partnership might look like, how long the tenure for leaders would be, and how they would be selected.
Measurement for Improvement
The document discusses the importance of measuring performance to drive improvement. It outlines a 7-step process for establishing effective measurement: 1) decide the aim, 2) choose measures, 3) define measures, 4) collect data, 5) analyze and present data, 6) review measures, and 7) take action on results. Key points include measuring outcomes and processes, collecting consistent data, analyzing variation over time through run charts, and using measurement to identify improvement opportunities.
Early Labour Lounge
The document discusses the opening of an early labour lounge at a local hospital to improve the user experience for women in early labour. Key issues with the previous antenatal ward included poor user experience, environment, and staff attitude. The new early labour lounge provides a more comfortable and private space for women in early labour to help support normal birth. User feedback on the new lounge has been positive, with improved survey results and fewer complaints about staff attitude.
Outpatient Induction of Labour
An audit was conducted of outpatient inductions of labor (IOL) compared to inpatient IOLs between February and March 2010. Out of 65 total IOLs, 16 were conducted on an outpatient basis. Women who underwent outpatient IOL had similar fetal and maternal outcomes as those who had inpatient IOLs. Outpatient IOL allows low-risk women to stay with their families and keeps hospital beds available for higher-risk deliveries while maintaining normalcy of birth. The process involves community midwives offering membrane sweeps starting at 40 weeks and arranging outpatient IOL appointments.
Community Energy Solutions
Community Energy Solutions fully funds PV installations on public and social housing roofs. It shares the Feed-in Tariff income with the roof owner, providing £35 in roof access payments and £50 in annual profits. Investors provide £425 and receive £700 in annual FiT payments. This provides free electricity for tenants while paying landlords without capital costs and donating £50 annually to local communities. It reduces carbon emissions by generating renewable energy locally. The organization has signed heads of terms with some local authorities and housing providers and plans to close its first project by the end of March.
One Planet Regions
One Planet Regions works with businesses, communities, and councils to establish flagship sustainability projects. They partner with Sutton and Middlesbrough councils to create exemplars of sustainability that others can learn from and replicate. The projects focus on 10 principles including zero carbon, zero waste, sustainable transport, materials, food, water, land use, and building a strong local economy and culture. Success is measured through outcomes like carbon savings, community participation, and winning awards that recognize leadership in sustainability. The biggest challenges are understanding varying council needs, maintaining momentum amid budget cuts, and addressing the wide scope of sustainability issues. Support is needed through dialogue with councils and networks to spread ideas and tools to additional local authorities.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
