The document discusses tools developed to help local governments quantify and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cement and asphalt used in construction projects. These tools include a materials reporting form and greenhouse gas calculator to inventory emissions on a project level. The calculator can also be used to evaluate alternatives to determine how different strategies, like using supplementary cementitious materials or warm mix asphalt, could impact emissions and costs. Hypothetical case studies are presented to demonstrate how the tools work in evaluating alternatives for arterial roadway construction, a CSO basin, and a local park renovation project.
