Introduction
The MyCREST Carbon Sequestration Calculator is design to calculate, in the proposed green building,
the following points in MyCREST:
i) IS6.1 - Heat Island Mitigation - Roof/Wall Total Carbon Capture for IS6.1 0.0000 tCO2e
ii) IS6.2 - Heat Island Mitigation - Non-Roof Total Carbon Capture for IS6.2 0.0000 tCO2e

Instructions
Efforts have been put into this tool to ensure that it is easy and simple to use while providing accurate results

 METHODS OF CARBON SEQUESTRATION CALCULATION
A) TREE B) GRASS

Step 1: Height of Tree Step 1: Total Dry Weight (TDW)

Height: 1/H = 1/(2.0*D) + 1/61 TDW = 0.56 x Area in meter square
: W = 0.25 x ((D2/6.4515) x (H/0.3048) x 1.2) Step 2: Total Carbon Weight (TCW)
Step 2: Mass of Stem TCW = TDW x 0.427
Ms = 0.0313*(D2H)0.9733 Step 3: Total CO2 Weight (TCO2W)
Step 3: Mass of Branch TCO2W = TCW x 3.6663
Mb = 0.136*Ms1.070 Step 4: Total ton CO2 Weight (T CO2W)
Step 4: Mass of Leaves tCO2e = TCO2W/1000
Ml = 1/Ml=1/(0.124Ms0.794)+1/125
Step 5: Total AGB
AGB = (Ms+Mb+Ml) x No of Trees
Step 6: Total Biomass
Biomass = Total AGB /1000
Step 7 : Total Carbon
Carbon = TBiomass x 0.47
Step 8: Carbon Coeficient for Open Grown Tree in City
Coefficient = Tcarbon x 0.8
Step 9: Carbon Sequestration
Carbon Sequestration = Coefficient x 44/12
