Common use of Previous research Clause in Contracts

Previous research. A variety of research has been published over the last ten years on foam and blowing agent usage, characteristics and impacts, but only a very few were specific to California, and none have taken a holistic ‘bottom-up’ approach to the identification of foam based emissions in the State. Caleb has taken account of California specific research by CARB on estimated foam bank size and distribution, on estimated emissions from foam banks, on Appliances end-of-life fate and on in-state TRU/Reefer populations (CARB, 2008). Beyond California, there have been a variety of studies in the USA relevant to foam blowing agent use, banks and emissions, such as on Polyurethane blowing agents, (Skeist Inc. 2004), and on a US high GWP inventory (US EPA, 2001a). Internationally, there have been a series of studies completed on characterizing banks, emissions and management options, on defining a global emission function for blowing agents (AFEAS, 2000) and on the collection and treatment of unwanted ODS (ICF International, 2008). The studies were completed for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the Technical and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP) of UNEP. There have also been studies specific to the European situation, including a study on regulatory options (Milieu 2007), and a study on characterizing building foam banks and emissions in the United Kingdom (BRE 2010). ▇▇▇▇▇ was, in whole or in part, responsible for much of this research and has reviewed and drawn upon the work as part of the Literature Review process. This review process has continued throughout this project in order to keep updated with the latest findings.
