Description

We present an easily accessible database of interpolated climate data for Alberta that includes monthly, annual, decadal and 30-year normal climate data for the last 106 years (1901-2006), as well as climate change projections for the 21st century from 23 general circulation models. The database builds on the Alberta Climate Model and a set of five future projections that are recommended and widely used by Alberta government agencies. We added 15,000 historical and projected climate surfaces that include variables relevant for biological research and infrastructure planning, such as growing and chilling degree days, heating and cooling degree days, growing season length descriptors, frost free days and extreme minimum temperature.

Description

This quantification protocol is applicable to the quantification of direct and indirect reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the implementation of streamlined waste heat recovery projects. The protocol quantifies the emission reductions from the avoidance of fossil fuel consumption resulting from the capture and utilization of heat that is currently being wasted. The waste heat recovery may be transferred into the project site where it is utilized, or may be recovered and used within the project site.
