Human Impact on the
environment

When you look at the history of humanity it's basically a relationship
between the two most complicated systems on Earth :Human society
and nature.
Now , We are causing the devastation to our very foundation of our life
system that has given us birth.
We should come out of the illusion that people are separate from nature.

Pollution
Since the industrial revolution,
society has had a tendency to
assume that the environment
can absorb any amount ofpollution.
Many of the most disastrous
incidents of pollution involve
industrial chemicals that are
toxic or carcinogenic

Pollution from thermal power plant

Pollution and Acid rain
Rain and snow carry the sulfuric
acid formed when sulfur reacts
with water back to the surface in
the form of acid rain.
It causes loss of species
diversity in bodies of water.
Destruction of trees andorganisms due to low pH levels
in ground water.
Extinction of a lot of species.

Depletion of Ozone Layer
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are
a class of chemicals involved in
ozone destruction.
Coolant in refrigerators and air
conditioners propellant in
aerosol dispensers release
CFCs.
Ozone depletion will cause and
increase in the number of
people who develop skin cancer
and cataract.

Global Warming
Carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere influences global
temperatures.Global warming
during Earth's current
interglacial warm period has
greatly altered our environment
and the distribution and diversity
of all life.
Global surface temperature
increased
0.74 0.18 C (1.33 0.32 F)between the start and the end
of the 20th century
Broader effects are expected to
include glacial retreat, arctic
shrinkage, including long-term
shrinkage of Greenland ice6

Non-replaceable Resources
Fossil fuels: Fossil fuels likecoal, natural gas and petroleum
products once used are not
replaceable and will add global
warming gasses in to the
environment.
Loss of top soil: by repeatedly
turning over soil to eliminate
weeds, by allowing animals to
overgraze ranges and pastures,
and by practicing poor land
management we permit thewind and rain to remove more
and more
Pollution and depletion of
ground water: Water seeps into
aquifers at too slow a rate to
replace the large amount ofwater being withdrawn for

Examples of Disastrous Events
In the early 1970s, Lake Eriewas so polluted from large
amounts of industrial chemicals
that few fish could survive there
The Exxon Valdez ran around
on the Alaska coast in 1989,
spilling 11 million gallons of oil
and killing thousands of marine
animals. Even today the
evidence of damage to local
wildlife continues to mount
UN estimates by the middle ofthe century there may be 150
million environmental refugees
at any given time from climate
change.

The 5 components of solving any environmental
problem
11
Assessment
Risk analysis
Public education
Political action
Follow-through
7/29/2019 Human Impact on Environment BLAZE AUTOMATION
12/26
Assessment
12
The gathering of information
Data collection
Performing experiments
Make predictions
7/29/2019 Human Impact on Environment BLAZE AUTOMATION
13/26
Risk Analysis
13
Use the information from assessment to predict the consequences of
environmental intervention
Evaluate the potential to solve the problem as well as any adverse
effects the plan might create
7/29/2019 Human Impact on Environment BLAZE AUTOMATION
14/26
Public Education
14
Inform the public
Explain the problem in understandable terms
Present alternative actions
Explain probable costs and results
7/29/2019 Human Impact on Environment BLAZE AUTOMATION
15/26
Political Action
15
The public, through its elected officials, selects and implements a
course of action.
Exercise your right to vote.
Write to elected officials.
Support special interest groups.

Global Warming Solutions
Reducing the amount of gas released in the atmosphere :
energy efficiency
renewable energy
vehicle technology solutions
Increase the efficiency of photosynthesis

Why aren't we responding to climate change?
First and foremost : economy
>>The greatest weapon of mass destruction is corporate economic
globalization.
>>People think that, to implement eco-friendly measures
is expensive.
Lack of awareness
>>Many people still dont know what is green house effect.>>what extent it is damging our eco-system

Fundamental opportunity cost of economic growth
As the economy grows, it displaces, it encroaches upon the biosphere,
and this is a fundamental cost
What would it cost us to take carbon dioxide out of the air and put
oxygen back in it, which all the green things do for us for nothing.
What would it cost to pollinating all of the flowering plants.
In our modern globalized world growth continues to be the focus of
many corporations and governments who deplete our environment foreconomic gain.

What BLAZE can offer?
Blaze considered both environment and economy to design products
which keep balance between both of them.
One of its kind is BLAZE occupancy based lighting system.
On an average 30% of the energy on lighting can saved by
implementing occupancy based lighting.
There are other indirect benefits from occupancy based lighting like:
reduction in Air conditioning bills etc.

How occupancy based lighting works (example)
Provide light when and where it is requiredan egress path for late night workers eliminates unnecessary energy usage
after hours.

Estimates average saving potential for different space
types using occupancy sensors
Private office 1350%
Conference room 2265%
Classroom 4046%
Restrooms 3090%
Corridors 3080%
Store areas (including warehouses) 4580%

Features Blaze Occupancy sensors
All occupancy detection sensors feature advanced robust wirelessRF platform
Easy installation with out retrofit or reconstruction
On-board management selectable setting for maximum controlwithout requiring advanced technical knowledge
Multiple rooms, HVAC and balcony doors easily accommodated
with no additional wiring required
Occupancy detection only requires single occupant movement.
Wide range of cost effective and reliable occupancy sensor are available with BLAZE23

ROI - Conclusions
Average ROI for 30% saving: 18-24 months
Note: Here we have assumed that the Lighting fixtures are ON 12 -14
hours per day and there is a saving of only 30% [averaged considering
all the areas in a typical corporate setup] of the energy for Lightingthrough Occupancy sensors.
This also includes savings through indirect savings.
