Using existing and new literature Sample Clauses

Using existing and new literature. In addition to the initial literature search, Xxxxx also completed further on-line research on the key foam containing applications. The main focus was on sourcing essential data on buildings, appliances, structural and non-structural cold stores, and transport refrigerated units. Most of the data were for stock and production, but there were instances where the project team obtained data for other life-cycle stages. Project team member Xxxxxxx was able to provide many data on appliances and non- structural cold stores. The project team continued to contribute information from web-based research and Xxxxx also spent time transforming available research findings into data relevant for California. There were data gaps for non-domestic appliances, water heaters and the lesser application of marine buoyancy. These were filled by a combination of interviews and additional research as necessary. During the interview stages Xxxxx also came across additional literature, either specific to California, the USA, or North America (ACC, 2006), (PURRC, 2005). Where appropriate, we have referred to data and findings from these sources. Since starting this project, Xxxxx has also been actively involved in characterizing building-related foam and ODS data, plus the evaluation of management options in Europe, and especially the United Kingdom. While findings there are not directly relevant to California, the methodology for characterizing the foam bank and the modeling approach taken to identify the bank and emissions plus possible mitigation strategies has proved relevant to this project. In particular, the UK project provided an important opportunity for peer review of the Caleb approach prior to the completion of the California model. Xxxxx prepared and submitted the Screening & Technical Interview Report to California Air Resources Board in May 2010.
