T-Chart

This is T-chart template for ConceptDraw software.
"T-Chart.
A simple way to conduct economic analysis through partial budgeting is with a T-chart. A T-chart systematically identifies only the benefits and costs of a conservation alternative. This technique simplifies data collection and analysis. The T-chart also describes the resource setting, resource concerns and the conservation system. The best information used in the T-chart comes from your client, a discipline specialist’s recommendations, and technical references. ...
There can be three levels of analysis using the T-chart:
• Level I Includes only qualitative statements
• Level II Qualitative statement plus units of measurement and dollars
• Level III Complete economic or financial analysis
The conservation planner should complete as many T-chart levels as they are comfortable with and then request assistance if the decision maker needs additional analysis. The planner only develops enough information for the client to make an informed decision. The decision maker may lose interest if too much irrelevant information is provided and waste planner’s time. A T-chart can be developed on whatever media the decision maker finds most useful." [nrcs.usda.gov/ Internet/ FSE_ DOCUMENTS/ stelprdb1176611.pdf]

"Consumption of energy resources, (e.g. turning on a light) requires resources and has an effect on the environment. Many electric power plants burn coal, oil or natural gas in order to generate electricity for energy needs. While burning these fossil fuels produces a readily available and instantaneous supply of electricity, it also generates air pollutants including carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide and trioxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas which is thought to be responsible for some fraction of the rapid increase in global warming seen especially in the temperature records in the 20th century, as compared with tens of thousands of years worth of temperature records which can be read from ice cores taken in Arctic regions. Burning fossil fuels for electricity generation also releases trace metals such as beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, manganese, mercury, nickel, and silver into the environment, which also act as pollutants.
The large-scale use of renewable energy technologies would "greatly mitigate or eliminate a wide range of environmental and human health impacts of energy use". Renewable energy technologies include biofuels, solar heating and cooling, hydroelectric power, solar power, and wind power. Energy conservation and the efficient use of energy would also help."

The Energy resources diagram example was created in the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software using the Manufacturing and Maintenance solution from the Illustration area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
