aaline™ Carbon Footprint Analysis
In order to understand our impact on the environment, the aaline team has constructed a system for estimating the carbon footprint of each of our products, inspired by ISO 14067:2018 and GHG Protocol. We take into account emissions associated with the harvesting, manufacturing, and processing of raw materials; the shipping of materials and components to our location; and the fabrication process itself. We have always taken pride in sourcing local, sustainable materials. Now we have developed a system for quantifying the effect our approach is having on the climate.
Carbon Footprint of aaline product line, compared to similar products with aluminum housings, and rPET acoustic absorbers, shipped from China.
Utilizing supplied .DWG files we 3D model the space and position our fixtures and luminaires in the specified locations in the room. We then run our calculations and are able to supply you with 3D & plan views of light heat maps of your space. With that you can visually see how light is spread throughout the space but we also supply light distribution, light intensity and luminaire coordinates values for your reference.

aaline Carbon Footprint Analysis, Inspired by Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
GHG Protocol is a system broken down into a series of steps, in order to guide businesses through the process of quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. The organization provides detailed tools for calculating carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride emissions, associated with activities in various industries.
