Greenhouse Gas Analyzer

Glendale Water & Power recognizes the profound effect that greenhouse gas emissions are having on the Earth’s climate. Working with LINCUS, GWP is making available a complimentary and confidential online greenhouse gas analyzer to our large business customers. The online tool calculates baseline greenhouse gas emissions resulting from business operations and allows businesses to test what if scenarios to find ways to reduce those emissions. The new green house gas analyzer can be used for a single building or a campus of buildings. It is easy to get started. Just call your business account representative at (818) 548-2746.

Benefits of Using the Analyzer

You may use the Greenhouse Gas Analyzer tool to do the following:

• Utility (electricity, fuels and renewables)

  Calculate the emissions released in your use of energy from Glendale Water & Power or the gas utility which serves your facility. This is important, as different utilities produce energy with different mixes of fuel sources and technologies, resulting in different levels of emissions per kWh for each utility.

• Refrigeration Systems

  Analyze various refrigeration system types in your facility including chillers, cold storage and other equipment which uses refrigerants. The results will then be calculated to assess your GHG emissions by utilizing the recovery efficiency, installations emission factor, operating emissions, and global warming potential factor.

• Highway Vehicles

  Analyze the emission from typical highway vehicles such as company cars, trucks, buses, and employee vehicles that exist in your company fleet. After your information is entered, the program will compute the carbon dioxide (CO2), Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions caused by the vehicle use being described.

• Non-Highway Vehicles

  You can also determine the emissions created by non highway travel such as company airline use which can be an overlooked yet important factor.

• Waste and Recycling Management

  In this category, you can assess the emissions released by disposing of waste in a landfill or by recycling. If you know the size and composition of your waste stream you may choose to do a custom analysis for more accurate results. If you know only basic information, choose typical analysis and the national averages will be used as defaults to calculate your emissions.
