[BLDG-SIM] Pollution Factors

[Drury.Crawley at EE.DOE.GOV]

Several good sources of pollution factors by utility generating plant,
state, and national:

EPA eGRID (electric generation and emissions database with data for 1999
and 2000), v 2.01 May 2003:  http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/egrid/

Accounting for local differences in electricity-related pollution would be
worthwhile when the source energy "mix" for generation differs from the
national average.


I have seen state-by-state information on power generation energy source
(coal, hydro, nuclear, etc) at the EPRI or Edison Electric web site several
years ago, though I did not access this information before this inquiry. As
I recall, fraction of electricity from coal varied from 90% to less than
10%, with comparable variation in fraction provided by hydro.  Metro area
fractional breakouts are perhaps more pronounced.


Review of the excellent residential end use information
http://enduse.lbl.gov/info/LBNL-40297.pdf and
http://buildingsdatabook.eren.doe.gov/ did not yield regional
building-related pollution information.


Are data available that offer reasonable guidance to select localized
pollution outcomes of electricity consumption in buildings?


Thanks!
