On 28th November 2020 I joined a meetup on “Green Factory Visit & Renewable Energy Source” in a 10 member group. Before that I knew factory means pollution. But I was the first to know that renewable energy can be made and used from the factory.
Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, including carbon neutral sources like sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. The term often also encompasses biomass as well, whose carbon neutral status is under debate. Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services.
Environmental and economic benefits of using renewable energy include: Generating energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and reduces some types of air pollution. Diversifying energy supply and reducing dependence on imported fuels.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
We visited Remi Holdings Limited to earn hands-on experience on green factory concept, technology and its impact. In other part, hosted this practical knowledge based meetup to contribute something for local guide Bangladesh members.
It is to be mentioned here that, Remi Holdings Limited is a LEED – Platinum certified from USGBS (U.S. Green Building Council) and obtained 97 scores under New Building Construction in the year 2016, which was the highest score in the world. Now leading the score as 2nd highest in the world.
