Facilities: The Facilities GHG data represents physical structures used by County residents and County staff who provide services for County residents. Examples include recreation, libraries, theater and arts, health and human services, liquor retail, courthouses, general services, maintenance facilities, correctional facilities, police stations, fire stations, volunteer fire stations, garages, parking lots, bus shelters and park & ride locations.

GHG Calculation
Method
Facilities and Fleet fuel sources are converted into one common unit of energy- 1 Million British thermal units (MMBtu) which are then used with emissions factors and 100-year global warming potential (GWP) to calculate GHG emissions into one common unit of measure- Metric Tons of CO2 Equivalent (MTCO2e).
