| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 環境工程系所 === 95 === Currently, although many regions have established their greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, the methods they used may not be applicable for other regions. Similarly, softwares developed for regions in a specific country may not be applicable for other countries either. This study was thus initiated to develop a GHG inventory system to assist local regions in establishing GHG inventories.
The developed system consists of three major sub-systems: GHG inventory database, GHG inventory guidance, and GHG inventory data analysis. The database stores information for inventory sectors, inventory items, emission factors, and other related information that can help a region to start a new GHG inventory survey with enough sample or reference information. The GHG guidance sub-system is designed to assist a region in setting up or selecting appropriate inventory sectors, items under each sector, activity data, and emission factors. The sub-system also allows the user to create new sectors, items, and emission factors if no appropriate information can be found from the database. Emission factors stored in the database are classified into several different categories to facilitate the selection of an appropriate factor for an inventory item or activity. The data analysis sub-system provides functions to implement inventory data statistical analyses, including comparison for inventory data from different regions. Microsoft Excel© and VBA are the tools used to develop the system for providing an easy-to-learn and friendly interface.
To increase its flexibility, both Chinese and English editions of the system have been made available. Inventory data from several different cities were collected and saved into the developed database. A case study for establishing the GHG inventory for Hsinchu City was implemented to demonstrate the applicability of the system.
