Hey everyone! Sorry it’s taken me a while to get access to the group blog figured out. I’ve really enjoyed hearing about all of the important work we are doing in the mean time, though.
I have been spending most of my time buried in Excel. I am working on revamping the campus greenhouse gas inventory tool’s section on energy demand projection. Our challenge is to create a projection method that has enough detail to be useful and credible but that is also simple enough for the average user. I think Jenn and I have figured out a good plan of action, but now it is just a question of moving around all of the little Excel bits and pieces to get it into the new form. It will be super exciting when campuses across the country are using the new version to make their case for climate action!
I have also been working with Anne, Jenn, and Casey to make a plan for some outreach/educational videos and presentations to go along with the part of the Excel tool that allows you to weigh the cost effectiveness of potential emissions mitigation measures. I really enjoy this type of work (outreach, public speaking, training…) and it makes a great break after a couple hours of nitty gritty Excel work.
