Cells shaded in yellow indicate areas where the user supplies information. This spreadsheet is a work in progress, and is periodically being updated and expanded. If you have suggestions, questions or comments, please contact Dana Etherton with the Mobile Sources Group of Mecklenburg County Air Quality at 704-336-5500 or [email protected]

Begin by clicking on the "Summary" tab and enter your company's name and address, your ozone coordinator's contact information, and your number of employees. The spreadsheet will then calculate your NOx and VOC target reductions. The bottom of the Summary page will show the target reduction, reductions obtained from each category, the total reductions, and a message indicating if the target has been met.

When the summary page has been completed, click on the "Commute" tab. Here you can enter the number of people who are altering their method of transportation to work or work schedule on ozone action days. Continue through the "Energy", "Non Road", "Gasoline Fleets", and "Facility" tabs filling in whatever categories apply to your business. The "Employer" tab is provided for activities specific to your company. These reductions must be approved by MCAQ. As you fill in your emission reduction activities, check the summary tab to see if you have met your goal for both NOx and VOCs. Try different combinations of activities to determine what works best for your organization

When you are satisfied with your selected options, click on the "Plan" tab. Fill in how you plan to receive the ozone forecast, how you will ensure that the actions submitted will occur, and how you will document participation. NOTE: To start a new paragraph in this section, hit ALT + Return.

This spreadsheet is designed to help companies calculate their NOx and VOC reduction targets, and to determine which strategies are the most convenient and effective options for that company to use to meet their target. The target is calculated using the following equation:

The average daily commute mileage is assumed to be 20.8 miles. This number was provided by the Charlotte Department of Transportation. The emission factors are obtained from EPA's Mobile6 model. The reduction percentage is currently set at 33%. This means that each company's goal is to reduce 33% of its commute related emissions.

NOTE: This spreadsheet is contunually being revised and updated. Options and calculations may be added, changed and removed as MCAQ determines appropriate.
