Emission Sources are any process, activity or equipment that produces emissions. The granularity of these sources can be configured to suit your reporting requirements.
At the time of data entry, system will dynamically come up with a list of outstanding Input records based on the Emissions source along with time period and location to ensure all required data is collected from users.
Definitions for Emissions Sources
|
Field
|
Explanation
|
Name
|
This Name is referenced in Data Entry Forms, Notification Emails and Data Import Files
|
Location
|
Each source must be linked to a Location where it physically resides or in the case of mobile emission sources, the location against which its emissions are to be reported.
|
Date Active
|
Date when the Emission Source comes into effect
(To protect data integrity, once Emission Results Records have been created for an Emission source, this field becomes read only)
|
Date Inactive (Optional)
|
Last Date the Emission Source is valid
|
Reporting Frequency
|
The Reporting Frequency needs to be defined as either of the following:
This setting drives the data collection processes and reminder notifications.

|
Owner (Optional)
|
Person responsible for the Emission Source.
|
Calculation
|
Each Emissions Source must be linked to the Calculation which will be used to determine the emissions.
|
Material (Optional)
|
Linking an Emission Source to a Material to represent a material or fuel that is used or processed, in order to take the relevant Emission Factors into consideration.
While this is an optional field, it must have a value in case any of the Formulas in the Calculation used for this Emissions Source refers to a Material Attribute, for example:
material.co2ef
By selecting the corresponding Material, the system can identify exactly which record to use and which attributes apply to calculate emissions.
