Capabilities
ECAM (Energy Performance and Carbon Emissions Assessment and Monitoring) assesses greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption of urban water systems using data readily available to utilities.
It helps utilities identify areas for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy savings and reducing costs by improving overall efficiency.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Use ECAM to assess the greenhouse gas emissions of water and wastewater utilities at each stage of water supply and sanitation. The results are based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and peer-reviewed literature.
Energy Performance
Use ECAM to evaluate where and how much energy is consumed across the stages of water and sanitation systems.
Monitoring
Use ECAM to monitor changes in greenhouse gas emissions or energy consumption of a utility. ECAM allows users to compare the greenhouse gas emissions of a utility over time and with those of other utilities.
Identifying Opportunities
Use ECAM to monitor changes in greenhouse gas emissions or energy consumption of a utility. ECAM allows users to compare the greenhouse gas emissions of a utility over time and with those of other utilities.
What are the Benefits:
ECAM is your first step towards a climate-smart and sustainable urban water management. It provides a starting point for reducing greenhouse gas emsissions and running a more efficient water facilitiy.
Based on IPCC
ECAM was developed to be consistent with the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and peer-reviewed literature.
Free and Open Source
ECAM can be freely used, copied or changed. Its source code is openly available on GitHub. We encourage people to improve or make suggestions how to improve the design of the software.
Secure
ECAM is secure and trustworthy. No information is ever stored on servers. All data entered and processed in ECAM can be saved locally on your computer.
Getting started with ECAM:

2) Configuration: Input general information about the assessment you are conducting. Select the country your utility is located in and which generation of the IPCC report you would like the assessment to be based on.

3) Inventory: Enter your utility data and get an overview of its greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and service performance indicators.

4) Results: See the total emissions and energy consumption by stage and greenhouse gas in tables or graphs. Download a report and view the Sankey diagram to see the flows of the greenhouse gases emitted in your system.

5) Compare Assessments: Compare the greenhouse gas emissions of your utility over time or with other similar utilities.
