SERVICE:
Greenhouse Gas Analysis
DESCRIPTION:
Tech Environmental was retained by Vanasse & Associates, Inc. to conduct a greenhouse gas emissions analysis for a proposed BJ's Wholesale Club in Quincy. QBJ Land Development, LLC proposed to construct a BJ's Wholesale Club on the south side of Crown Colony Drive, north of the I-93/Route 3/Route 1 ramp system in Quincy, Massachusetts. The project consisted of constructing an 84,360 square foot store on a 7.5 acre parcel of land.
Tech quantified stationary and mobile source carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions using the Tech Environmental Energy Model and US EPA-approved mobile source model. The final design, designated as the Full Mitigation Alternative, includes mitigation measures that reduced the Project's direct and indirect stationary source energy-related emissions of CO2 by approximately 24.8% and 11.7%, respectively.
