Waterfront Calculators
 
 
 

The following calculators can be used to estimate the effect of reducing various environmental impacts at and along the waterfront

  • Water Pollutants - can be significantly reduced or eliminated
  • Energy Savings - from solar systems may cut utility bills by half.
  • Water Containment - new systems can recycle over 90% of boat wash down areas.
  • Green Buildings - can save 30-50% of primary energy, 40% of water, 70% of solid waste.

  Administrative:  
 
  • EPA Calcualte Your Savings for Small Business (screen) - measurement indicates energy usage of a facility relative to buildings which have similar space usage. Estimate your facility’s energy intensity and the potential energy and cost savings you could realize by implementing energy efficiency upgrades
 
   
 
  • EPA - Recycled Content (RECON) Tool (compressed file, xls) - spreadsheet to help companies and individuals estimate life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy impacts from purchasing and/or manufacturing materials with varying degrees of post-consumer recycled content. Emission estimates provided by the ReCon Tool are intended to support voluntary GHG measurement and reporting initiatives, as well as such initiatives as EPA's Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG) Program
 
 
  • BEES - (Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability) measures the environmental performance of building products by using the life-cycle assessment approach specified in the ISO 14040 series of standards. Economic performance is measured using the ASTM standard life-cycle cost method. U.S. EPA Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Program is charged with carrying out Executive Order 13423.

  Carbon (Individual) Footprints:  
 
  • Power Pollution Calculator (screen) - Enter the amount of electricity that you consume and the type of fuel that your utility burns, and your share of these side effects will be displayed.
 
   
 
  • Water Budget (screen) - water budget for the inside and outside of your home.

  Utility Company Self Audit Programs:  
   
 
  • Xcel Energy Assessment (screen) -online energy assessment, a highly interactive and user-friendly tool that will help you better understand your energy usage. The assessment takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete and delivers a set of energy-saving opportunities tailored to your facility.
