Carbon Value Analysis Tool.xls (Version date: March 2008) This is a screening tool that allows you to integrate the value of carbon dioxide emissions reductions into energy-related project financing decisions. You are able to conduct cash-flow, return on investment, and risk analysis using this spreadsheet. Combined Heat and Power Plant.xls (Version date: September 2006) This tool intends to facilitate the allocation of GHG emissions attributable to the purchase or sale of energy from a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. Can be used by all companies whose operations involve the purchase or sale of energy from a CHP plant. Computer Power Savings Calculator.xls (Version date: September 2007) Use this simple calculator to estimate typical savings from Energy Star qualified computers and/or power management features. Employee Commuting Emissions Calculator.xls (Version date: June 2006) This tool will enable you to calculate your company’s employee’s emissions from commuting to work. This tool is intended to be used in conjunction with Hot Climate, Cool Commerce: A Service Sector Guide to GHG Management, a WRI report also available on the CD.
