Is the energy budget comprised of both electricity and natural gas?
Yes. I hit a little snag with one aspect of the “Direct Emissions” calculator, specifically with emissions factor for natural gas. For one of our campuses, they gave us natural gas in gallons but when I look at the emissions factor tab on the calculator, I’m only given the option to choose therms or cubic feet. It’s actually unusual for natural gas to be measured in gallons since it’s not generally a liquid fuel – so I’d just double check that the data they’re giving you is correct, first. That said, if you look at the “conversion factors” tab (right-most tab) in the direct emissions spreadsheet, you’ll see that there are volume conversions available for going to/from gallons, cubic meters and cubic feet.
