Executive Summary <br />Louisville, CO is approximately 7.9 square miles of land and water within Boulder <br />County located along U.S. 36 between Denver, CO and Boulder, CO. Louisville seeks to <br />develop a sustainable action plan for its operations that leverages energy efficiency, energy <br />conservation, renewable energy within a broader sustainability framework to promote economic <br />savings and business opportunities. <br />The first step in developing a sustainable action plan is to develop a baseline energy <br />inventory, which calculates energy use necessary to carry out daily life in a city. The accepted <br />measure of various forms of energy use is greenhouse gases because they are a measureable <br />byproduct of many activities and can be used to compare resource use intensity across <br />geographic locations, activities, and scales. The greenhouse gases included in this inventory are <br />carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, represented as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). <br />The inventory provides a consolidated account of the emissions associated with carrying out <br />daily activities of living in Louisville. <br />GHG Emissions By Detailed Sector <br />Community-Wide Emi%sions: 37othoucand nit-0O2e <br />Per- Capita F.micsions_ 20.1 mt -0O2e <br />Food Purchase 1��\ � 11.296 <br />Celrent ` 1.996 <br />Fuel Piaduction `\�v \�ti��� 6.596 <br />ii MSW -0.696 <br />Water/Wastewater 0.896 <br />.girTracd 7,‘" 6.4% <br />Diesel Vehicles 0.596 <br />Gasoline Vehicles <br />P ublic Building Natural gas Use 0.196 <br />Public BuildirgElectriatyUse 1.196 <br />Co rare niay I ndis trial Natural Gas Use 5.296 <br />Co nn etrial/I ridus trial Electricity Use <br />Reaadermal Natural gas Use 7.496 <br />]te`cidea al Elect 6tyUJse 1196 <br />-20 .00 0.00 20.00 40.00 6o.W 80.E0 100.03 120030 <br />Thousand int-CCI 2e <br />18.,E <br />3096 <br />3 <br />5 <br />
