Establish an Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Baseline Inventory for State Government (GLA Action 1.2)

Establish a baseline inventory of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for state government for the year 2005 or other year if more appropriate. The inventory would profile the specific types and sources of energy used and would quantify the amounts of energy consumed and emissions released on a quarterly and annual basis. This baseline inventory would assist in identifying opportunities having the greatest potential to reduce state government's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and would serve as a benchmark by which to track progress in specific energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The baseline inventory and subsequent updates would be the responsibility of the new Energy Management Unit.
