Carbon Calculator Question
Home Energy magazine would like to include a list of great carbon calculators in an article we are working on. Does anyone know of a good carbon calculator that also accounts for renewable energy offsets? A better question may be: do these exist?
Thanks for your help!

The only carbon calculator that I'm aware of that is approved in Texas for reporting on carbon reductions was developed by Texas A&M's Energy Systems Laboratory. It's called IC3, which stands for International Code Compliance Calculator. It's free and you can learn about it at:

Thanks, Chris! This is partly what we are looking for because it provides an area to show purchases of electricity from a clean energy program.
