Environmental Protection Services [1.7]
Environmental Protection is one of the basic pillars in business development.
According to the Cyprus Legislation [Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία - Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας - Νομοθεσία (mlsi.gov.cy)] specific operation categories should have an Environmental Impact Assessment Study and should have an Environmental Terms Approval for their operations.
CRM Cyprus Ltd provides specialized services for in-house development of the appropriate environmental practices. Specialized scientists (engineers and environmentalists):
- Develop Environmental Management Systems [1.3.3] to assure a harmonic operations development in accordance with the environmental protection practices
- Recommend and implement environmental protection training programmes [1.4] for all levels of the organization
- Conduct environmental measuremnts [1.5.2] to assess the impact level of the operations to the environment
- Conduct in situ environmental conformance inspections and audits [1.6.5] to assess the level of legal conformance as well as the degree of environmental compatibility of business operations with the environment
- Conduct studies for the business operations:
- Energy Saving [1.7.1]
- Water Management and Saving [1.7.2]
- Environmental Impact [1.7.3]
Energy Saving Studies [1.7.1]
Energy Saving Studies
In spite of the fact that energy saving is part of a company’s environmental policy, the increased knowhow requirements as well as the contemporary trends and needs highlighted this subject as an independent management pillar. The main issue is that energy is not an everlasting good despite being considered a well-being index.
People of today cannot return to previous lifestyles of austerity yet continuing the thriftless consumption entails a devastating price. Energy saving is part of the solution incorporating direct financial and environmental benefits. Today’s science is fully oriented and directed towards this direction by adopting modern technology. Energy sources consumption is actually unacceptable in the framework of the European and most National directives.
Today, there is a lot of discussion about the sustainable energy forms that do not severely impact the environment being provided by the exploitation of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) like wind (Windmill Parks), the sun (Photovoltaic Parks), the underground thermal energy (Geothermal) as well as the surface water energy (Hydroelectric Plants).
CRM Cyprus Ltd develops energy saving techniques that contribute in the technical and environmental upgrade of the operations without significantly burdening their budget as the benefits fund the investment costs.
CRM Cyprus Ltd has specialized personnel that develop energy saving studies, building and facilities inspections, energy measurements and supervises the implementation of the recommended solutions.
The services provided can be summed up as follows:
- Building and Facilities Inspections to identify the energy consuming areas in order to assess the improvement margin and apply the appropriate techniques or technologies appropriately.
- Development of Energy Saving Reports that include specific recommendations supported by full financial analysis that assures the investments viability as well as depreciation within a logical time span.
- Conducting energy parameters measurements to assess the energy saving margins as a support for the Energy Saving Report.
- Facilities and building design based on the bioclimatic architecture from the Construction Sector.
Water Management Studies [1.7.2]
Water Management Studies
Water is the source and the absolute prerequisite for life as we understand it. 71% of the planet’s surface is covered with water, yet freshwater is barely 2,5% while only 0,77% is directly accessible but it is doubtful whether it is potable.
The continuous water reserve depletion is largely due to overpopulation as well as over the overconsumption of the developed and developing countries. Water is the main constituent not only of the live tissues but of most industrial products while no product can be produced without water usage.
According to the UN water consumption is going to rise by 40% while 17% will cover standard potable and industrial needs. In the near future about 2 billion people will suffer from water shortage; to date 1/3 of the world population already lives in countries with drought problems.
Water availability reduction makes it of paramount importance to develop systems for sustainable water management.
CRM Cyprus Ltd develops and implements water management and saving studies with obvious financial and managerial advantages for the Companies.
Environmental Impact Assessment Studies (EIAS) [1.7.3]
Environmental Impact Assessment Studies (EIAS)
An Environmental Impact Assessment Study (EIAS) is a fully documented scientific study that aims at assessing direct and indirect environmental impacts of operations on the environment in a framework of avoiding environmental degradation.
An EIAS includes:
- Description of the project or the operation under study with information about the facilities
- Assessment of the basic environmental impact
- Recommendations of measures for preventing, reducing or restoring adverse environmental impact
- Examination of alternative solutions
- An abstract of the complete study
Waste Management Studies [1.7.4]
Waste Management Studies
There is no operation in nature without waste. However, its quantity and quality must be monitored as required by the Cyprus Legislation [Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία - Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας - Νομοθεσία (mlsi.gov.cy)] both for cost as well as space saving factors that contribute to environmental protection.
The basic waste management principles are:
- Reduction to achieve minimization
- Reuse for the same or a different purpose
- Recycling
Waste may be categorized as follows:
- solid waste
- liquid waste
- air emissions
CRM Cyprus Ltd develops waste management studies for all waste categories.
