Refrigerants Results Page

1. Purpose

The Refrigerants Results page provides a detailed overview of the environmental impact associated with your company's refrigerant usage (in this case refilling) per year. It allows you to track your progress over time and compare your performance against industry and association benchmarks.

2. Key Features

• Carbon Footprint: A bar chart at the top displays the carbon footprint associated with your refrigerant consumption for the selected year, measured in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kg CO2-eq). This helps you understand the overall environmental impact of the refrigerants used in your cooling and refrigeration systems.
• Impact per Month (if applicable): ): If you select a specific month in the options at the top of the page, this section displays a bar chart showing the refrigerant impact for that month. This section will display a bar chart showing the refrigerant impact for that month. This allows you to identify monthly variations in your refrigerant-related emissions.
• Benchmark Comparisons: The page includes benchmark comparisons to show your refrigerant impact per square meter, and per euro sold, and how it compares to industry and association averages (if applicable).
• Variance: This section displays the percentage difference between your company's impact, and the industry or association average. A red percentage indicates that your impact is higher than the average, suggesting there is room for improvement. A green percentage indicates that your impact is lower than the average, highlighting good performance compared to the industry benchmark.
• Interactive Elements: An added functionality is the possibility to hover your mouse over the bars within the charts to view more detailed information about specific months and their contribution to your refrigerant impact.

3. Understanding the Charts

• Carbon Footprint chart: Each bar in the chart represents a specific year, and the height of the bar indicates the associated carbon footprint in kg CO2-eq for your refrigerant usage.
• Impact per Month chart (if applicable): Each bar in the chart represents a month, and the height of the bar indicates the refrigerant impact for that specific month.
• Benchmark Graphs: The benchmark graphs use bar charts to visually compare your impact per square meter and impact per euro sold against industry and association averages. This information can be used to compare your environmental performance against industry competitors.

4. Using the Page

• Select Year: Use the menu at the top to select the year for which you want to view refrigerant results.
• Analyze the Charts: Review the charts to understand your carbon footprint from refrigerants, impact per month (if applicable), and benchmark comparisons.
• Evaluate Variance: Pay attention to the variance percentages, which are located in the benchmark graphs section, to identify areas where your company's performance is significantly different from the industry or association average.
• Identify Areas for Improvement: Based on the insights from this page, you can identify opportunities to reduce the environmental impact from your refrigerant usage, such as transitioning to refrigerants with lower global warming potential, minimizing refrigerant leaks, and implementing proper refrigerant recovery and recycling practices to reduce the total refrigeration refilling per year.

5. What Happens Next?

The Refrigerants Results page provides valuable data and insights that are critical for understanding the environmental impact of your refrigerant consumption. This data can also be used to develop initiatives that promote more sustainable refrigerant choices that contribute to your overall sustainability goals. This page can also be used to communicate your refrigerant-related environmental performance to stakeholders and illustrate your commitment to reducing or minimizing your environmental footprint.
