Are LiveCooler Carbon Reductions verified using an independent carbon offset standard?
Most of the carbon offset certification standards are designed for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects that are in a single location. For example, several wind turbines on a hill or a large factory that is having it’s heating system updated. LiveCooler’s program consists of CFLs spread distributed among thousands of families. So, auditing each family’s lighting fixtures and electricity bills is not cost effective. We are hiring a 3rd party auditing firm to audit our financial records, our CFL installation records and do spot checks on bulb installations to ensure quality.
