Capacity Building Workshop on Measurement
of Gas Concentrations for Monitoring Air Quality and Climate
Change
The workshop took place on September 8-10, 2015 in Mexico at
the National Center of Metrology (CENAME). It provided technical training on
mobile emissions programs, development of measurements standards, preparation
and certification of gas mixtures, air quality and GHGs measurements to public
officials from 13 National Metrology Centers of the region.
Based on the finding of the previous regional workshops, NIST and OAS
identified some major areas to provide the training.
GHG Metrology and measurements
Energy Efficiency in buildings
Labeling
Almost all region lack of adequate measurement capabilities for air quality
and GHG emissions. The workshop will address the measurements concerns of the
region in this area.
