Project
The top-level EcoEsep record that groups the reporting context, objects, sources, calculations, evidence, reviews, and reports.
Glossary
EcoEsep terms in plain language.
Short definitions of the concepts used in calculations, the method catalog, and reports. These are product explanations, not legal definitions.
Object / facility
A site, facility, installation, or project unit that contains one or more emission sources and location context.
Emission source
A physical point, line, area, or process from which a pollutant is released or calculated.
Source display sequence
An automatic project-local label such as Source 1. It is for navigation and is not the official inventory number or database id.
Inventory source number
An optional official or imported source identifier kept separately from the display sequence and internal id.
Pollutant code
The governed code assigned to a pollutant. It identifies the substance and is not a source number.
Calculation method
A released, versioned set of applicability rules, equations, inputs, tables, outputs, limitations, and source references.
Annual emission mass
The total mass of a pollutant emitted during a reporting year, commonly shown in tonnes per year. It is not an ambient concentration.
Emission rate
The mass of pollutant emitted per unit of time, commonly shown in grams per second. It is not a concentration.
Ambient concentration
The mass of a pollutant per volume of ambient air, commonly shown in milligrams or micrograms per cubic metre.
Averaging period
The time basis over which concentration or another result is averaged. A value is not comparable with a reference that uses an incompatible period.
Maximum one-time PDK
A concentration reference for a specified maximum one-time averaging basis. It is not an annual emission-mass limit and must be shown with pollutant, unit, source, jurisdiction, and status.
Limit / reference value
A reviewed value used for a specific pollutant, medium, unit, averaging period, jurisdiction, and status. It is not automatically a compliance decision.
Screening result
A preliminary result used to identify scale, possible issues, or the need for more detailed work. It is not a final regulatory conclusion.
Evidence / supporting material
An authorized document, measurement, record, image, or other source that supports an input, result, or review decision.
Value source
The provenance state showing whether an input is measured, documented, estimated, reused, or unknown, together with supporting evidence when available.
Stale result
A saved result whose dependent input, table value, method version, scenario, or source record changed after it was calculated.
Report readiness
A completeness and review-status indicator based on required data, evidence, calculations, issues, and human review. It is not a compliance score.
