Collection of metrics is a required part of all AMI environmental awards. The following worksheet is designed to help you chart your "environmental footprint," by identifying key environmental measurements to track progress from season to season and year to year. Use these comparisons to determine key aspects in your plant operations to focus your EMS, or to support your application for an Environmental Achievement Award.
