AVERT Tutorial: Import Regional Data File
Import Regional Data File
AVERT estimates emissions reductions based on regional conditions and data. To use AVERT, you will need to select your region of interest and download the appropriate Regional Data File.
In this section of the AVERT training, you will learn how to load the data file for the region you want to analyze.
Before you start, consult the table below to determine which AVERT region is most appropriate for you. Note that some states will fall into more than one AVERT region. See Getting Started – Identify Your AVERT Region(s) for more information about what to do if your state is covered by multiple regions. Then download the appropriate Regional Data File(s) at the AVERT download page.
