Carbon dioxide reduced

A functional value provided by the trees. This is the monetary value associated with tree effects on atmospheric carbon. This value is estimated based on the economic damages associated with increases in carbon or carbon dioxide emissions.

Based on the U.S. Social Cost of Carbon.

Calculated using the price of $0.11487 per kilogram.

Stormwater intercepted

A functional value provided by the trees. This is the monetary value of stormwater runoff that is avoided because of rainfall interception by trees. This value is estimated based on the economic damages associated with runoff and costs of stormwater control.

Based on the U.S. national average cost of stormwater control.

Calculated using the price of $2.325/m³.

Energy conserved

A functional value provided by the trees.

Energy Use: The monetary value of increased or decreased energy costs as a result of a tree’s effect on residential building energy use.
Emissions: The monetary value of increases or decreases in carbon emissions from power plants as a result of changes in energy use. This value is estimated based on the economic damages associated with increases in carbon or carbon dioxide emissions.

Trees less than 3m tall or further than 18m away from buildings do not provide calculable energy benefits to nearby buildings.

Calculated using the prices of $0.075 per kWh and $10.45 per MBTU.

Air pollutants removed

A functional value provided by the trees. This is the monetary value associated with tree effects on atmospheric pollution. This value is estimated based on the economic damages associated with increases in pollution emissions and/or the impact of air pollution on human health.

Based on U.S. median externality values for carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter less than 2.5 microns, and ozone removal.

Calculated using the prices of:

$1.486 per kilogram (CO)
$1.342 per kilogram (O3)
$0.200 per kilogram (NO2)
$0.073 per kilogram (SO2)
$46.716 per kilogram (PM2.5)

Weather

Benefits were calculated based on a reported 85.0 centimeters of total annual precipitation in 2010.

Currency

All prices are displayed in CAD, but were generated in USD. The exchange rate used was 1.28 CAD = 1.00 USD in November of 2017.
