Leonardo Academy Light Bulb Mercury Calculator

This calculator helps you calculate the weighted average picograms of mercury per lumen hour (pg/lu-hr) for all the light bulbs in a building. This calculator helps you develop a high efficiency light bulb purchasing plan that minimizes the amount of mercury brought into a building via high efficiency light bulbs.

Increasing the Environmental Sustainability of Organizations 
Leonardo Academy helps companies, organizations and events become more sustainable. We also help them promote these good deeds. We worked with SCA Tissue North America of Neenah, WI to investigate what steps SCA Tissue could take to increase the sustainability of their manufacturing facilities and operations. We also investigated ways to align and promote their current sustainable activities and products to the growing green building and LEED-EB market.

Leonardo Academy's Cleaner & Greener® Program
While most emissions offsetting programs focus only on greenhouse gasses, Leonardo Academy's Cleaner and Greener program works to reduce and offset emissions that fuel climate change, as well as those that are detrimental to human health. The program makes it simple for organizations, buildings, events and individuals to reduce their environmental footprint and to live more sustainably by reducing and offsetting emissions. More
