3 METRICS ENERGY (IN BTUS): electricity, natural gas, and district energy consumed citywide (subdivided into residential and commercial/industrial) WATER (IN GALLONS): potable water consumed citywide (subdivided into residential and commercial/industrial) TRAVEL (IN VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED): on-road distance traveled within city limits DEMOGRAPHICS All data is reported both as a total as well as in units/capita. Residential data is reported in units/household, and Commercial/Industrial data is reported in units/job WASTE (IN POUNDS): citywide municipal solid waste managed via recycling, composting, combustion, and landfilling (prorated from countywide data) COMMON METRICS GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (IN TONNES CO 2 E): citywide greenhouse gas emissions associated with each of the four indicators COST (IN DOLLARS): cost estimates associated with each of the four indicators AREA City Area (sf) WEATHER Heating Degree Days Cooling Degree Days Precipitation (in)
