| - | This wiki is directly related to the content of and interacting with the CanESS model. | + | {{caness:caness_logo.png}} |
| - | Here are a couple of good sources of general CanESS Information: | + | This section of the whatIf wiki contains CanESS user documentation. |
| - | * Information from our website [[http://www.whatiftechnologies.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=48&Itemid=98|CanESS]] | + | |

| + | ===== Getting Started ===== | ||
| - | ====== Getting started: using whatIf? ====== | + | Before using CanESS it is necessary to learn the basics of navigating the software environment in which the model operates. See the [[trainingtutorial:samm_concepts_and_mechanics|whatIf? Modelling Platform - SAMM concepts and mechanics tutorial]]. |
| - | For an overview of the technical aspects of interacting with a model through the whatIf? software you can review [[http://web.mac.com/globalsimsystem/GSS/GSS_Home_.html|this website]]. It was built to help Royal Roads University (RRU) students interact with a whatIf? model and it does a good job of explaining the concepts and technical details of the software. You may review the whole website or go straight to the tutorial. All references to control panels and dashboards are known as create views and display views, respectively, in our more general terminology. | + | |
| + | Understand how the model is organized - [[caness:hierarchy_overview|CanESS Hierarchy Overview]]. | ||
| + | See a list of [[caness:Key_CanESS_Views|Key CanESS Views]]. | ||
| - | ====== CanESS ====== | + | Learn to use the model with these [[caness:training_exercises|CanESS Training Exercises]] and [[caness:training_exercises_solutions|Solutions, hints and notes]]. |
| - | CanESS is a simulation model designed to demonstrate the relationship between an evolving population, the evolving energy systems implemented to meet that population's needs, and the emissions produced as a result. CanESS is a tool for performing 'look-ahead' analysis. Through the development and testing of various scenarios CanESS allows for the exploration of the likely long term consequences of policy changes or mass adoption of new technology (for example). | + | |

| - | ==== Main Drivers for Simulation ==== | + | |
| - | * Population which drives: | + | |
| - | * Families/households | + | |
| - | * GDP which drives | + | |
| - | * Industrial production | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Interesting High level Summary Views ==== | + | |
| - | * scenario overview report (overviewRpt) - Focused mainly on the transportation demand sector but also shows the GDP and Population assumptions | + | |
| - | * demography report (demogRpt - logged at demography) - shows information about the underlying population assumptions | + | |
| - | * energy disposition report (enrDispRpt - logged at root) - shows making and using totals for various energy commodities including import and export | + | |
| - | * fuel use report (fuelUseRpt - logged at energyUse/conEnergyUse) - displays information about fuel use (by sector) in Canada in several different formats | + | |
| - | * net emissions report (netEmNQ - logged at emissions) | + | |
