6. Carbon Footprint Calculation
Electricity Grid Emissions factor:
“The greenhouse gas Grid Emission Factor (GEF) is the total amount of GHGs emitted per unit of electricity generated for and distributed by an electricity grid, taking in account imports and exports of electricity from the interconnection with other grids.”
Electricity-specific Emission Factors for Grid Electricity, August 2011

7. Carbon Footprint Calculation
Electricity Grid Emissions factor:
for the financial year ended 31st March 2012 factors of and 1.03 t CO2e/MWh were published
Factor 1 = Mt CO2e emitted ÷ TWh sold = 1.03 t CO2e per MWh.
Factor 2 = Mt CO2e emitted ÷ TWh net generated and available for distribution = 0.99 t CO2e per MWh

8. Carbon Footprint Calculation
For the financial year ended 31st March 2012 the calculation is:
As denominator, use the TWh number of TWh before T&D losses;
As numerator, add emissions from:
Imports: since this is hydro from Mozambique, the emissions factor is assumed to be 0 t CO2e/MWh;
Purchases from IPPs: this is a mix of sources with an estimated emissions factor of 0.85 t CO2e/MWh 17;
The total numerator is hence = Mt CO2e;
The revised factor is hence:
235.4 t CO2e emitted ÷ TWh = t CO2e/MWh.

9. Carbon Footprint Calculation
Water emissions factor:
There are two emission factors given by the Defra Conversion Table with one associated with water treatment and the other associated with water supply
EMISSION FACTOR DUE TO WATER SUPPLY = kg CO2e per unit
EMISSION FACTOR DUE TO WATER TREATMENT = kg CO2e per unit
Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs [UK], 2012

15. Data Analysis
Water kg CO2e per unit and kg CO2e per unit have obtained as GHG emission values associated with water for These can be used to compare to past and future values, however since carbon emissions related to water consumption have not been calculated in previous reports, these carbon emission values can be used as baseline for future reports.

16. Data collection Recommendations
Water consumption information

17. Data Collection Recommendations

18. Data Collection Recommendations
Centralized Data Gathering System
A complete view of the data which allows multiple queries and abstractions.
It is easier to manage a centralized database
Offers Real time benefits
Easy reporting that benefits management
Data integrity can be ensured

19. Data Collection Recommendations

20. CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS
Project related challenges :
Unclear requirements from the beginning
Changing scope
Limited access to valuable Stakeholders

21. HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD? Water Consumption:
RECOMMENDATIONS
Water Consumption:
Implement internal monitoring of water consumption
Meter large buildings and high capacity residences individually
Account for Water usage by Irrigation systems.

22. HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD? Electricity Consumption:
RECOMMENDATIONS
Electricity Consumption:
Electricity consumption awareness such as Talks on energy saving, putting “Switch off lights” signs in all buildings
Encourage the use of energy saving bulbs, solar power installations and use of paper towels in wash rooms as opposed to powered driers.
Power down all computers that are not being used, as opposed to logging off.
Offer incentives to the most “green” or environmentally friendly building or residence to encourage energy saving initiatives.

23. Reflection Project Learning
The project combined research into teaching and learning well.
It helped to nurture real project management skills.
A host of soft skills including Interpersonal relations, punctuality and discipline were at the core of ensuring smooth project running.
