They also believe any industry that applies to energy efficiency retrofit can optimize of existing of plant components, adaptation of the plant for new or changed products and also increase in piece number and cycle time. Meanwhile in manufacturing industry, retrofitting describes the measures taken in manufacturing industry to allow new or updated parts to be fitted to old or outdated assemblies such as blades to wind turbines.

Adam Benson (2011) has defines energy efficiency as the efficient of the use of energy which aim to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services, and The Rockefeller Foundation (2012) defines retrofits as replacement or upgrade of old building systems with new energy saving technology and processes. A retrofit is the physical and operational upgrade of a building’s energy consuming equipment. In this context, there are four key categories that we have identified as important to integrate into a retrofit project; “New kit”: repair, replace, and upgrade key internal equipment; new controls: enable the system to operated more dynamically, with individual optimization by floor (or more granular) and appropriate schedules to be maintained; integrated design: evaluation of the cross-component impact of multiple systems be changed or upgraded and active energy management (AEM): systems to actively monitor and manage the performance of the upgraded systems and make …show more content…

Industries from manufacturing activity, automobile and power plant have resulted in carbon emissions and use a lot of energy.

    The Reconstruction Era (1865-1876) was a time of great healing for the United States after the American Civil War (1861-1865). The newly emancipated African-Americans in the former Confederate States of America were given new freedoms that included the right not to be enslaved (13th Amendment, citizenship under the 14th Amendment and the right to vote (15th Amendment). Even though these rights were guaranteed by Constitutional law, the South continued to oppress the African-Americans by implementing Jim Crow Laws in an attempt to intimidate and prevent them from exercising these new privileges.

    The period between the end of the Civil War and the Great Depression had many notable achievements such as western expansion and the Reconstruction Era. However it was also a time period in which many minority groups were fairly disappointed in the American government. The Reconstruction Amendments had many holes not making it effective enough, and with more expansion to the West came more extreme racism towards Native Americans. It is clear that there were attempts to change America for all the people’s freedom, but there are still many flaws those changes possess. Because of that, I find myself in the middle of the debate about who benefited most from this time period.

The concept of reducing our Carbon footprint in the world is the more modern way of looking at sustainable living, in which the World realises humans have not used resources wisely. By looking at the changes over the past centuries, an International network of scientists have unanimously concluded that human society is altering natural functions in three fundamental ways.
