hello guys I'm a beginner in LEAP and I'm actually working on LEAP exercise in order to understand the process but since I have no coach and no experience therefore your help would be crucial. In addition, in my country those registered in LEAP member list claim they cant help. So please if you can help me..help please: My questions are the following:
in the LEAP first exercise: 95% have refrigerators, which consume 500 KWh per year on average.
I have entered the following:
Branch: Refrigerators Expression: 95 Scale: Percentage Units: Share or saturation?
My questions are:
1. Where should I enter consumption 500 KWh?
2. Should I change the unit from share to stauration as indicated in leap training exercise about the ownership?

Thank you for your questions and welcome to using LEAP! To answer your questions:
- Be sure to click on the "Final Energy Intensity" tab for a given branch in order to enter the rate of consumption (see attached image).
- In this case, you should use "Saturation" because the refrigeration ownership rate is independent of the ownership of other household end-uses like lighting and cooking technologies. Refer to the following thread for a good overview of the difference between "Share" and "Saturation": https://www.energycommunity.org/default.asp?action=9&fid=22&TID=333
Also, if you are interested in checking your progress while working on the exercises, you can always view completed versions of each exercise by opening the Freedonia area that is built into LEAP. To do this, save your own working model first and then go to Area: Open). After Freedonia is open, go into Area: Revert to Version to select the exercise you are working on. This will allow you to compare your progress beside the finished product.
Hope this helps!
Emily
