This webinar will cover how to calculate the potential emissions impacts from city activities on building efficiency using quality data and standardized methodologies. The webinar will include a step-by-step instruction of how to calculate the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in cities with time for discussion and city-specific examples.

Calculations will have applications to the built environment and the webinar will cover implications for health and economic impacts. Strategies for sourcing data and using indicators to assess data quality will be discussed.
