Use of Microcomputers to Perform Airport Emission Inventories
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 116, Issue 3
Abstract
The emission inventory process at commercial airports can be a time‐consuming, error‐prone, involved process. Multiple sources of varying types also complicate the process. The writers have combined all source calculations in a series of spreadsheet templates, contained in a single file. Through the use of spreadsheet functions, such as macrocommands, the user answers questions from user‐friendly screen prompts, and emission quantities are shown in summary tables for each source and each pollutant as well as an overall summary table. Report tables and graphics are easily and quickly generated. As a result of using the spreadsheet method, various scenarios can be calculated in a matter of minutes and errors in calculations are avoided. This permits review of many alternatives, and is not only a tool for emission inventory compilation but is a planning tool as well.
