Site Material Emissions Modeling

Material ModeLing Methodology

The materials in your inventory and how you use them is crucial to your Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) reporting and compliance.

ERA’s EMS Software utilizes a complete methodology to explore every relevant detail and build a robust virtual model of your business. This comprehensive approach to emissions modeling “future-proofs” your facilities from the prospect of source-related compliance issues.

When you start using ERA software, we create a concise virtual map of your facility, inventory, and sources. We implement this process to ultimately provide you with the maximum accuracy in your emissions modeling and reporting.  It is this process of site modeling that ultimately allows you, the client, to track KPIs and gain valuable business intelligence, with complete confidence in the data being collected from your business.

At the heart of ERA’s approach is an expert understanding of environmental calculations and meticulous professionalism. 

We exhaustively model all materials and engage with all input sources, including those from your suppliers. The methodology behind ERA’s source modeling is represented below.

ERA makes full use of the following to track your source material, ensuring that all relevant information regarding your facility and your suppliers is gathered:
