The Sustainable Design Academy team prepared the Climate Action Plan Technical Report (CAPTR) for the City of Woodland. The CAPTR provides the calculations and supporting material used to derive the city’s greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. The undergraduate team also developed a detailed summary of actions and strategies that, if implemented, ensure that the City and its residents reduce energy consumption, and as a result reduce GHG emissions to 15% below the 2005 baseline by 2020.
The CAPTR includes an overview of the current science of climate change, the 2005 baseline and 2020 business as usual (BAU) inventories, and a detailed assessment of strategies that can be used to reduce energy consumption. Reductions will be necessary across all sectors including residential and commercial energy use, municipal energy use, water supply and wastewater treatment, wastewater reuse, and transportation.
Sources of 2005 transportation GHG emissions. These sources are divided into indirect emissions such as airport support equipment and direct emissions such as vehicle travel.
