DuPage County commits to take action Fall 2012 DuPage County adopts the Cool Counties initiative, setting a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 10% by 2020 and 20% by 2030. Baseline year: 2007
DuPage County Energy and Emissions Profile PHASE 1: Compile municipal profiles from 2007 Municipal Energy Profile Project into 2007 DuPage County Energy and Emissions Baseline Profile Measure Consumption & Calculate Emissions for: 2007 electricity consumption 2007 natural gas consumption 2007 transportation (vehicle miles traveled)
Goals/Phases of this Project PHASE 2: Develop comparable 2012 Profile for DuPage County Measure Consumption & Calculate Emissions for: 2007 electricity consumption 2007 natural gas consumption 2007 transportation (vehicle miles traveled)
Goals/Phases of this Project PHASE 3 (later): Develop customized analysis and emissions inventory report that would analyze trends from the 2007 and 2012 reports and assist county green team in developing appropriate strategies.
What s In Your DuPage County Energy and Emissions Profile?
Section 1: Using Your Profile Baseline Metrics or Benchmarking You can t measure your success without knowing where you started from. Accurate Data Factual consumption data trumps estimates provided by other sources; helps better project savings estimates.
