Emissions tab on Legislative Region Templates Dialog.
The emissions tab contains a single browse selection to define the Fuel emissions factors for each fuel. The emissions factors define the amount of CO2, CO, CH4, NOx and several other pollutants emitted per unit of energy consumed for each of the major fuel types in the region. The emission factors depend on the mix of technology used to generated the electricity, the quality of the fuel and other factors such as production carbon cost.
CO2 emissions are calculated within DesignBuilder by multiplying simulated fuel consumption by the CO2 emission factor for that fuel. Conversion factors can be made specific to the region by changing the data for the region.
Note: The emission factors for each fuel are only actually used in the simulation when the corresponding selection has been made for that fuel type on the Region tab at site level under the Include Fuel Emissions header.
