The Carrier CO2NSERVATION Meter includes products from each of our business units. Only Carrier products are used in the model, including the comparison baseline products. The meter does not capture all Carrier products, but only those with accurate historical sales figures and equivalent baseline products. The products included represent the majority of the products in our portfolio. We use 2000-2010 global sales data to estimate the total products in use. If sales data is not available dating back to 2000, we used the year with the most accurate figures as the starting year. GHG emissions from refrigerant leak rates are accounted for Carrier Commercial Refrigeration products only. The Carrier CO2NSERVATION also includes avoided GHG emissions that result from Carrier's energy services business, NORESCO.
For the majority of its products, Carrier chose to set baseline performance against industry and government standards. As these standards change, Carrier has adjusted the baseline performance to meet the established standard for that year. In this way, Carrier is continuously holding its product performance accountable to the highest energy efficiency standards. Measured against a constant 2000 baseline, the CO2e avoided would be approximately one-third more.
