Community-Scale Energy and Greenhouse Gas Modelling ToolsCommunity-scale Energy and GHG Modelling Tools: North Vancouver from Smart Planning on Vimeo. The experiences of five local governments with community–scale energy and greenhouse gas modelling tools are profiled in the BC Climate Action Toolkit: toolkit.bc.ca/program/modelling. The series is presented by Smart Planning for Communities and the Province of BC. Each case study includes a written and webcast component. The written case study is a downloadable report that describes how the modelling tool was used to help set greenhouse gas reduction targets, policies and actions, and the webcasts are slide presentations narrated by participating local government staff and their consultants. Case studies were also collected from the cities of Colwood, Prince George and more on North Vancouver, as well as the Central Kootenay and Fraser Valley regional districts to show how a variety of modelling tools work. The full series of case studies are available on The BC Climate Action Toolkit.
