Brian Schuster

I have 14 years of project management and technical air quality and greenhouse gas experience. I develop, plan, and implement Climate Action Plans (CAPs) for public and private agencies throughout California. I have extensive emissions modeling experience and has provided project management and technical AQ and GHG leadership for many prominent, complex, and controversial CEQA and NEPA projects. In my CAP work, I design comprehensive GHG emissions inventories, evaluate GHG emission reductions from a wide variety of measures, author planning documents, and engage stakeholders through outreach. I am the current project manager for the Los Angeles County 2045 Climate Action Plan and EIR, and was the CAP project manager for the counties of San Bernardino, Sonoma, Marin and Los Angeles, and for the City of Ontario. I have also designed a number of interactive excel models for clients, including GHG inventorying tools, a lifecycle GHG waste tool, a health risk assessment screening tool, GHG reduction measure planning tools, and GHG reduction measure implementation monitoring and tracking tools. I am familiar with protocols for GHG inventorying including the ICLEI U.S. Community Protocol, the WRI GPC protocol, the Climate Action Registry protocol, the Local Governmental Operations Protocol, the AEP Inventory Protocol, and the IPCC protocols for GHG inventorying. I am also a member of the Association of Environmental Professionals Climate Change Committee. I also have experience conducting pollutant dispersion modeling using AERMOD/AERSCREEN and CALINE and modeling emissions using CalEEMod, EMFAC, OFFROAD, WARM, and the ICLEI SEEC ClearPath tool.
