But there are other important reasons to know whats going on with your emissions. With greenhouse gasses being a hot topic these days, one use of the DataPipe modules is calculating “greenhouse gas emission”. See the Air Emission Program Fact Sheet at Harvard University for more info. If you keep track over time you can see how the processes are behaving. Being able to estimate when, say, a monthly cap on cumulative emissions may be reached can help you schedule processes. Isnt it better to know in advance than find out after the fact? If emissions are going to be under limits you may be able to sell or trade credits. DataPipe has several ways for tracking emissions, one based on current measurements the other on calculations. Either or both may be used individually or in combination, based on y
