Quantification protocol for energy efficiency in commercial and institutional buildings. Version 1.0

Description

This document establishes approved methodology for quantifying greenhouse gas emission reductions from energy efficiency measures implemented in commercial and institutional buildings. This quantification protocol can be used by project developers to quantify greenhouse gas emission reductions resulting from the implementation of energy conservation measures resulting from changes in management practices and/or actual building improvements in new and retrofit projects. Emissions reductions are calculated as a difference in energy use in the project condition compared to the baseline. New builds are required to establish a baseline based on applicable building codes and a project condition that incorporates changes beyond these minimum standards. Retrofit projects are required to establish a baseline based on a greater of one full calendar year or one full operating cycle of data for actual building operations. Any changes in baseline conditions such as weather or building occupancy...

Quantification protocol for engine fuel management and vent gas capture projects. Version 1.0

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions that result from two related activities: the improvement in the fuel efficiency of natural gas combustion engines, and the capture of gases... More ≫

Description

This protocol quantifies greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions that result from two related activities: the improvement in the fuel efficiency of natural gas combustion engines, and the capture of gases (primarily methane) normally vented to the atmosphere. The quantification approaches for measuring GHG reductions for both components are based on measurement and monitoring and thus provide a high level of accuracy. The protocol is written for those familiar with the operation of natural gas combustion engines and control systems that manage the fuel consumption for these engines.

Description

In 2002, Alberta signaled its commitment to manage climate change and greenhouse gas emissions in the province by passing the Climate Change and Emissions Management Act. One of the first actions taken under the new legislation was to develop a mandatory reporting program for large industrial emitters in Alberta. Beginning in 2004, large industrial emitters in the province were required to submit an annual report on their previous year’s greenhouse gas emissions. The province has now collected data for six consecutive reporting periods, including the 2009 emissions year.

Description

The Government of Alberta is committed to taking action on climate change. Beginning with its Climate Change Action Plan - Albertans & Climate Change: Taking Action, released in October 2002, the Government of Alberta identified a number of strategies the province would use to address climate change. One of these actions included the development of a mandatory reporting program for large industrial emitters in Alberta. Beginning in November 2004, large industrial emitters in the province were required to submit an annual report on their previous year’s greenhouse gas emissions. The Specified Gas Reporting Program requires any Alberta industrial facility that emits more than 100 kilotonnes (kt) of greenhouse gases, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent, to report their emissions to Alberta Environment through a secure electronic data reporting system. Beginning with 2004 reporting, the Alberta system was harmonized with the National Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.

Description

The specified gas reporting program was developed as part of the Government of Alberta's climate change action plan, Albertans and Climate Change: Taking Action, released in October 2002. The Climate Change and Emissions Management Act defines a specified gas as any gas that traps heat near the earth’s surface. Specified gases include the following greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride. For the purpose of clarity specified gases will be referred to as greenhouse gases in this report.

Description

Reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from large industrial sources is a fundamental component of Alberta’s action plan to address climate change. The development of a mandatory GHG reporting program was a commitment identified in Albertans and Climate Change: Taking Action released in October 2002. Information gathered under the provincial program is needed to assist both the province and industry in characterizing emission sources and identifying opportunities for reductions in GHG emissions.
