Applications

    Add Application

    Application

    An application is a type of use which may be compatible with many different substances. For example, an application may be "commercial ACs" for commercial air conditioners.

      Consumption

      A consumption records describes use of a single substance like HFC-134a in a single application like domestic refrigeration.
      Information about the substance and application being modeled.
      Information about equipment that uses this substance for this application. You are describing equipment using for . Change
      Substance levels at specific times. These typically describe initial values for assessing consumption. For example, amount of import and domestic manufacturing (both produced and consumed within the country) at the start of the simulation. Note: use change instead to describe relative changes over time.
      Add Setpoint
      You are making set points for used in . Change
      How sales or consumption change over time like, for example, how much domestic manufacture increases each year. While this sets streams to change relatively over time, use setpoints instead to have consumption, sales, etc be specific values at specific times.
      Add Change
      You are describing changes in used for . Change
      Specify limits (minimum and maximum). Optionally, these limits can displace other substances or streams. For example, in a 100 kg cap on HFC-134a offsetting R-410A in domestic refrigeration, a cap would cause 150 kg of HFC-134a and 0 kg of R-410A to become 100 and 50 kg respectively.
      Add Limit
      You are limiting used for . Change

      Policies

        Add Policy

        Policy

        Policies can modify substances within applications. They can also be combined into a package tested in a simulation.
        Information about the name of the policy as well as its the target substance and application. This is the substance being limited, recycled, or replaced with something else.
        Define a recycling program in which substance is recovered during servicing. There may be yield loss in processing substances prior to reuse.
        Add Recycling
        Your policy will recycle used for . Change
        Define a recycling program in which substance is recovered at end of life. There may be yield loss in processing substances prior to reuse.
        This policy is coming soon
        Your policy will recycle used for . Change
        Specify replacement of the policy's target substance with another compatible substance. For example, this could be used to model a retrofit program.
        Add Replacement
        Your policy will replace used for . Change
        Set streams such as imports or equipment to specific levels. These set points could be used to model a mandate for a specific year. For example, an import value set to 0 colud indicate a probition on foreign HFC-134a.
        Add Level
        Your policy will add set points used for . Change
        Make relative changes to streams such as imports or equipment continually over a period of time. For example, this could be used to model a subsidy or incentive program.
        Add Change
        Your policy will change used for . Change
        Impose limits like to overall sales in a specific application. Optionally, these caps can displace other substances or streams. For example, a 100 kg cap on A offsetting B would cause 150 kg of A and 0 kg of B to become 100 and 50 kg respectively. For example, this could be used to model a permit scheme like in domestic refrigeration.
        Add Limit
        Your policy will limit used for . Change

          Simulation

          Simulations are collections of policies. If no policies are selected, this will simulate business as usual (no policy interventions).
