Welcome To EI Advanced
 This is the beginning of the second training, EI
Advanced, in the EI/TEISS training series
 This training is designed for those needing to collect
their own data and use TEISS to estimate emissions for
those sources
 Some of the material in this module is a review of what
you learned during the first training, EI Fundamentals,
in the EI/TEISS training series
 Are there any questions on the homework from the
first training on identifying the top sources in the NEI
in your area?
2
Topics Covered in Case Project
 Generating a new TEISS project
 Adding Point sources
 Adding Nonpoint sources
 Using the TEISS calculators
 Exporting data to EIS format
 Adding a new inventory year
 Generating reports and charts

Graphically Defining Sources
 Click on desired source type
or process
 Outline specified area for
source (for this case project,
anywhere inside tribal
boundaries is fine)
 Geographic data
automatically input into
TEISS
 Nonpoint/Mobile sources
automatically defined as
entire county/tribe

TEISS View – Input Field Colors
 Mandatory Fields
 Mandatory for inventory. Designates a data element that
EPA and most data users require to be present to consider
an inventory useful
 Necessary Fields
 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
 QA/QC data, other info that is useful to track if you have
collected it!
10
Defining Records Manually
 Records
 Emission Units
 Processes
 Control Equipment
 Reporting Period
 Emissions
 Etc.
 Click on Add to add a record; Edit or Delete a record by
clicking on the record and selecting your option
11
Defining Records Manually
 Blue shading shows
which record type
you’re looking at.
Top of the list shows which
record you’re working within.
12
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 the
Reporting Period record of the 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
13
Calculator Screens
 Calculator Search
 Calculator for Refuse
Combustion

Hints/Tips on Data Entry
 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!
15
Working with Search Dialogs
 Drop-down box
 Type code and TEISS View will automatically find match
 Select from list by double-clicking highlighted selection
 Search box
 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
16
NEI Export Function
 Access NEI Export function by
 Selecting NEI button from toolbar
 Or NEI menu and then “Export to NEI”
 Follow steps specified in Case Project
 File is stored as an XML file
 NOT automatically submitted to NEI
 Be aware of validation options!

TEISS Reporting Functions
 TEISS does NOT write your EI report for you
 Sorry!
 TEISS DOES
 Create graphs and tables to use in your report
 Create QA/QC reports detailing where data came
from, how emissions were calculated, QA review

Reports – Example Filter Screen
 Choose any number of Pollutants to report
Checks selected pollutant
Unchecks selected pollutant
Checks all pollutants on list
Unchecks all pollutants on list
Switches selection of pollutants

Reports: Emission Density Maps
26
Reports: Total Emissions Time Series
Each source type allows
you to graph changes over
time.
The “by SCC/Year”
report is an example.
27
Reports: Total Emissions Time Series
•The advanced filter has an additional window
•Allows you to choose which years you want to graph.

Homework due in 5 days:
 Complete Section 1 through Section 4 of the Case Project
in the TEISS Training Course manual
 Do NOT complete Section 5 that begins on page 53
 In Section 4 of the Case Project, you export the project
data in the NEI format
 Zip the file that you generate in the NEI format in this
section and email it to the instructors
