An example of what they are looking for is: Energy Efficient Action Install CO2 sensors to reduce the ventilation during lower occupancy levels. GHG Emission Reduction CO2 sensors reduce 10 metric tons of carbon emissions each year.

I had a similar comment from GBCI. How do you calculate carbon emissions for each energy efficient measure?

You just figure out how much energy you're saving due to the efficiency measure and then multiply that amount by the appropriate emissions factor. You can find emissions factors for different fuel types and different parts of the country on the Energy Information Administration's website at http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/emission_factors.html.
