The  initial  stage  of  each  project  involved  data  gathering  Finalists:
            and analysis, as well as a ‘shop floor’ evaluation of business
            operations.  This  was  followed  by  a  calculation  of  carbon  ITE College East
            emissions using known ‘carbon tags’ linked to environmental
            aspects  of  the  business.  For  example,  by  understanding   •   Peng Guan Pte Ltd
            the  amount  of  electricity  used  by  the  SME,  students  could   •   Anytime Fitness Loyang
            calculate  the  associated  carbon  emissions  associated  with   •   Revive Snack
            generating that electricity in Singapore. This method can also   ITE College West
            be applied  to other aspects of the business,  such  as water
