1 TEISS Case Project Introduction Melinda Ronca-Battista and Angelique Luedeker, ITEP

2 Topics Covered in Case Project Creating a new project Adding Point sources Adding Area sources Using the TEISS calculators Exporting data to EIS format Adding a new inventory year Creating reports and charts

3 New Project Creation Welcome Screen Save project

4 Geographic Area & Timeframe Case project for 2008 emission year Hopi Tribe’s reservation

12 TEISS View – Input Field Colors Mandatory Fields (green) Mandatory for inventory. Designates a data element that EPA and most data users require to be present to consider an inventory useful Necessary Fields (yellow) Necessary fields also important to NEI data users, but for which reasonable defaulting schemes may be applied by EPA if value not reported Optional Fields (off-white) QA/QC data, other info that is useful to track if you have collected it!

13 Defining Records Manually Records Emission Unit Processes Control Equipment Emission Period Location Etc. Add, Edit or Delete a record by clicking on the record and selecting your option

14 Defining Records Manually Blue shading shows which record type you’re looking at Top of the list shows which record you’re working within

15 Emission Calculators TEISS has built-in emission calculators (based on AP-42) used for estimating emissions from point or nonpoint sources Calculator can be executed from ESTIMATE button in Reporting Period record of Input View, or from CALC button on toolbar Calculators prompt you for required information Once you run calculator from ESTIMATE button in Reporting Period record, emission rates automatically input into TEISS

16 Calculator Screens Calculator Search Calculator for Refuse Combustion

17 Hints/Tips To open Input view, click INPUT button on toolbar To close Input view, click CLOSE There is not a Save button in the File menu. TEISS automatically saves as you work when You modify your map You click on the OK button of each data entry form Backup your TEISS project frequently to an external location!

18 Working with Search Dialogs Type code and TEISS View will automatically find match Select from list by double-clicking highlighted selection Click on button and use Search function To clear field, select blank entry located on top of list If there is no blank entry, the field is mandatory Blank entry
