DRAFT Community Energy & Emissions Profile
An important first step in developing our Community ENERGY shift is understanding our historic and current energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Our Community Energy and Emissions Profile includes three sections:
- Historical emissions drivers and trends
- Baseline of current energy and emissions, including an estimate of energy expenditures
- High level emission comparisons with other Metro Vancouver communities
The scope of greenhouse gas emissions included in any inventory or baseline involves a selection process: some emissions are simply not practical to account for. In order to provide comparisons with other communities and with Provincial trends, the scope of this baseline focuses on three major sectors:
- On-road transportation
- Residential, commercial, light industrial, and institutional buildings
- Solid Waste emissions from landfills
