Workbook Tool to Estimate CO2 Reductions in Climate Change Action Plans

Massachusetts Climate Action Network
Completed January 2004

Synapse developed an Excel workbook tool to estimate CO2 reductions from electricity measures in Municipal Climate Change Action Plans. Users have the flexibility to choose among standard emission reduction options or to add their own options. The tool also allows users to input demographic and other data specific to their municipality, but offers default data for those cases where specific data is unavailable. This tool was applied to the town of Arlington’s Sustainability Action Plan, and is being expanded to cover additional sectors. Project completed in January 2004.
