The effect of individual energy consumer groups on air pollution in the Kocmyrzów-Luborzyca commune

key words: energy consumption in the commune, air pollution, low emission, equivalent emission

Summary:

The analysis of final energy consumption and computed air pollution emission in the area of Kocmyrzów-Luborzyca commune were presented in the work. Energy demand included all groups of objects localized in the area of the commune. For the sake of presented work the commune was divided into the following sectors: housing sector (including households and farms), public facilities (including self-government, educational and cultural facilities, health centers and Volunteer Fire Brigade stations) and finally cultivation under covers (where horticultural production is conducted in greenhouses and heated plastic tunnels). It allowed for computing the amount and structure of energy carrier consumption in individual recipient groups and on this basis to determine the effects they have on air pollution in the commune area. On the basis of research and model computations it was established that housing sector, which is the main consumer of final energy, has the greatest impact upon air pollution in the commune. Public facilities, due to their modernization and conversion of heating to gas heating systems have a slight share in air pollution.
