Hi.
I am currently working on a project that requires me to use LEAP to create mitigation scenarios. I have two different sets of data - Macroeconomic and Activity Data.
I am having challenges locating where I can enter my Activity data and also I how do I get to use LEAP defaults emission Factors to calculate emission estimates from my Activity data.
Thanks

Hi Fredrick,
To learn more about adding Activity data, I highly recommend that you review the training materials as it'll help you become familiarized with the software. Exercise 1 shows you how to enter macroeconomic and activity level data. The training materials can be found here: https://www.energycommunity.org/default.asp?action=trainingmaterials
Here is a short summary of the steps:
- In order to activity level data, you'll first have to add demand branches that represent the different sources of energy demand. The following page describes the tree and how to add new branches: https://www.energycommunity.org/Help/index.htm#t=Screen_Layout%2FEditing_the_Tree.htm
- You'll either want to add the Technology with Energy Intensity or Category with Energy Intensity branches to conduct an activity analysis. See the following help page to find out about the different demand branch types: https://www.energycommunity.org/Help/index.htm#t=Demand%2FDemand_Properties_Wizard.htm
- When you click on the new branch, you should see a new Activity Level tab. An example of how Activity Level data can be entered is shown here (also in Exercise 1): http://www.energycommunity.org/WebHelpPro/Demand/Final_Energy_Demand_Analysis.htm
- A summary of how energy demand is calculated in LEAP using the activity analysis can be found here: https://www.energycommunity.org/Help/index.htm#t=Demand%2FActivity_Analysis_Calculations.htm
To add default emission factors, refer to the following thread: https://www.energycommunity.org/default.asp?action=9&tid=3972&fid=22
Hope this helps!

HI,
I'm trying the follow the links that you are proposing the for the activity data and the default emissions factors, but it keeps taking me back to the home page.
can you please try to send the links again?

Hi Lea,
Now that we've migrated to a new website, please replace https://www.energycommunity.org with https://leap.sei.org/ and you should be able to view the links.
Thanks,
Emily
