This required that the analysis should include the integrated savings estimation from all projects projected through 2026 for both the annual and Ozone Season Period (OSP)1 NOx reductions. The year 2018 was used for the baseline year to estimate the emissions. The NOx emissions reductions from all these programs were calculated using estimated emissions factors for 2018 from the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) eGRID database, which had been specially prepared for this purpose.Item The International Code-Compliant Calculator (IC3) v4.5.6(2022-10-19) Li, Qinbo; Baltazar, Juan-Carlos; Haberl, JeffItem Statewide 2021 Air Emissions Calculations From Wind and Other Renewables VOL II(2022-10-18) Baltazar, Juan-Carlos; Haberl, Jeff; Yazdani, Bahman; Li, Qinbo; Claridge, David; Azimi, Mitra; Ahn, Jounghwan; Sun, YuItem Statewide 2021 Air Emissions Calculations From Wind and Other Renewables VOL I(2022-10-18) Baltazar, Juan-Carlos; Haberl, Jeff; Yazdani, Bahman; Li, Qinbo; Claridge, David; Azimi, Mitra; Ahn, Jounghwan; Sun, YuItem A Survey of Urban-Scale Building Energy Modelers(2022-06) Zhao, Xi; Haberl, Jeff
