The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is an arrangement under the Kyoto Protocol allowing industrialized countries with a greenhouse gas reduction commitment to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more expensive emission reductions in their own countries. A crucial feature of an approved CDM carbon project is that it has established that the planned reductions would not occur without the additional incentive provided by emission reductions credits, a concept known as "additionality".

The CDM allows net global greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced at a much lower global cost .....

Green Building also known as sustainable or high performance building - is the practice of:
- Increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use and harvest energy, water, and materials; and
- Protecting and restoring human health and the environment, throughout the building life-cycle: siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.

A green building is a structure that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient .....

Energy is a major cost component for organizations in all sectors of the economy. Organizations like manufacturing plants, commercial establishments, large building complexes, and public utilities can accrue substantial savings in energy bills by adopting energy efficiency techniques, systems, and technologies in their buildings, plants, processes, and facilities. The major sources of energy are still fossil fuels, mainly coal and oil, which cause emissions of greenhouse gases and result in long-term environmental problems like global warming and climate change, which are against the principles of sustainable development. In view of this, adopting energy efficiency practices and procedures is essential for improving energy management in enterprises. An important component in achieving energy efficiency is its measurement. It has been said that if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it. Therefore, Energy Audits solve....
