93 | [1] For buildings 1,001-10,000 square feet a US average Kwh electricity usage and cubic feet of Natural Gas per square foot is used, see table C21 and C31 at: (http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cbecs/cbecs2003/detailed_tables_2003/detailed_tables_2003.html). | ||
94 | |||
95 | [2] US average kWh emission factor is 0.676 Mt/MWh (http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/pdf/Appendix%20F_r071023.pdf), standard line loss for electricity transmission is 7.2% (http://climatetechnology.gov/library/2003/tech-options/tech-options-1-3-2.pdf), and 2205 lbs/Mt. | ||
96 | |||
97 | [3] 1000 ft^3 of Natural Gas equals 10 therms, 1 therm equals 100,000 BTUs, 0.001304 lbs CO2/BTU (http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/coefficients.html), and 2205 lbs equals 1 metric ton. | ||
98 | |||
99 | [4] Estimated average of 21 MPG for US vehicle, 25.34 lbs CO2e/gallon of gasoline (Argonne National labs GREET model), and 2205 lbs equals 1 metric ton. | ||
