Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for quantifying residential emissions reductions. In particular, the system and method may comprise the steps of: measuring an energy savings resulting from an energy savings opportunity in a residential property, calculating an emissions reduction resulting from the energy savings, aggregating a plurality of emissions reductions into a tradable commodity, monitoring the residential energy savings opportunities, monitoring the quantification of the emissions reduction, and verifying the quantification of the emissions reduction. The system may include means for conducting each of these steps.

32. A method for quantifying a tradable emissions commodity, comprising the steps of:
-
offering a plurality of residential energy efficiency programs, wherein the energy efficiency programs comprise a plurality of residential energy savings opportunities; estimating an energy savings resulting from the plurality of residential energy savings opportunities; calculating emissions reductions resulting from the energy savings; aggregating the emissions reductions into a tradable commodity;
monitoring the residential energy savings opportunities;monitoring the quantification of the emissions reductions; and verifying the quantification of the tradable emissions reductions to produce a tradable commodity. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A system for quantifying residential emissions reductions, comprising:
-
one or more client devices for inputting data relating to one or more residential energy savings opportunities into the system; one or more servers, which communicate with the one or more client devices via a network; one or more databases residing on the one or more servers for storing the inputted data; and means for processing the inputted data to quantify an emissions reduction for the one or more residential energy savings opportunities and aggregate the emissions reduction into a tradable commodity.
