Note It most cases it is preferable to create a profile item in /home/energy/quantity and set its season value rather than a creating a profile item in this category. Explanation P…
The quantity category contains emission factors for all major fuels and electricity generation. Although you can create profile items in the electricity and electricityiso categori…
This category gives the saving possible by use of renewable technologies in the UK. Note that this category is primarily a look-up for /home/heating/uk.
This category lists the typical floor areas for a variety of UK home types. Note that this category is primarily a look-up category for /home/heating/uk.
This category contains a list of heating types (systems) for a variety of fuels and gives associated efficiency. This category is primarily a look-up category for /home/heating/uk.
The water usage category calculates the emissions from certain household activities such as using the dishwasher or showering. Once the activity has been selected the emissions are…
This category contains data on the CO2 intensity of electricity supplied to the UK grid by specific providers. Annual values for emissions intensity (i.e. kg CO2 per kWh) are avail…
Here the CO2 emissions are calculated from the energy consumption (default units kWh/year) entered by the user, multiplied by the CO2 produced per kWh dependent on the state select…
The carbon intensity of electricity is related to the specific method of generation used (e.g. coal, gas, nuclear, wind), and therefore the CO2 emissions associated with national o…
The data in this category is used to determine the emission factor to apply to electrical device usage based on the country specified in metadata profile item, defaulting to the UK…
This methodology enables the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the use of internal lighting. This category is based on typical energy consumption per year of …
This category contains CO2 emissions factors for each electricity generation method used to supply grid electricity. It is a look-up category and so profile items should not be cre…
