 Perry Grossman May 14, 2016 01:25  | Hi, Thanks for this proposal. Looks like it could have potential. Keep at it. I think a lot of this work is being done by agencies, utilities, and evaluators (e.g. DNV GL, Cadmus, NMR Group, etc.) I think you might want to try to leverage their work as much as possible so you don't have to reinvent it. The challenge is that many of impacts are hard to get at and there are often data sharing constraints. So trying to get to an open source solution might be one way to get at this. (though it might be a long road.) There are a number of carbon calculators; but it does seem like more could be done in terms of ease-of-use. I like the Open EE Meter Initiative, but I am not sure how far it has come along. Good luck, Perry

 Niraikalai Vijay May 16, 2016 09:12  | Proposal contributor I just now saw your comments. Thanks for that. Main reason for this proposal is to identify major impact factors from vast research materials that are already available and also to add new impact factors. May be these kind of quick check sheet will help assign points/weightage depending on locality and other major factors that are specific to the place along with common goal of achieving better GHG solution in the 'Energy Supply' space. I personally feel these kind of check sheets need to stay local as solution may vary depending various factors specific to the location etc. |
