Quickstart tutorial: Completing a GHG inventory with improved emissions calculator
3–4 pm ET (12–1 pm PT)
We updated our free Health Care Emissions Impact Calculator to make it easier for health care organizations to capture a detailed map of their greenhouse gas emissions and hosted a live walkthrough with our expert. They guided participants through a quickstart tutorial on completing a GHG inventory and demonstrated the calculator’s new simplified features.
Attendees learned how to assess key emissions areas like energy use, medical waste, and patient transport to help measure what matters and make meaningful progress on their sustainability goals. They brought their questions and discovered how their organizations could benefit from these improvements.
Below are a few of the important links shared during the tutorial. Please see the slides for additional links shared or referenced throughout the presentation.
