Project description:
|
The objective in creating an emission register is to create more
transparency regarding the cause and the emission of air pollutants for
planning processes and to make use of these urban operational contexts.
By doing so, assistance in the decision-making process for further measures
of reducing emission will be given and its effects monitored.
Due to the complexity of the different projected components and assumptions for
the cause of air pollutants, 5 emitting groups and 8 air
pollutant groups were concentrated on. Beginning with the source of emissions,
a databank was built up which was integrated into the GIS software used by the
local council. The register makes data available for all or separate pollutants,
resp., emitted results in the chosen basic unit of 1 km². The emission data
can be shown via a model scenario for the future as well as for the past. The
composition of a register has predominantly confirmed the quality of the data
from the implemented basis and calculations of the emissions (amongst others a
thermal atlas of the municipal council, town energy and climate data). The data
used to date vary greatly from the CO and CO2 emission from traffic.
An emission register and the necessary software can be compiled in the relevant
groups for industry and house fires/small businesses with a justifiable amount
of work being taken over by the other communities. Determining the emission
from traffic in a register necessitates a traffic project or an available area
traffic numerating system for the relevant commune. The data banks connected to
the register can be continued independently in and by the communities themselves.
