Sustainability & Risk / Green Building / Carbon Footprint - Review
Footprints by Source Category
The Footprints by Source Category report enables you to compare emission sources by a single emission scope (Scope 1 or Scope 3) for all of your sites, building, calculation years, and footprint scenarios, or for a subset of these that you select. The report presents information on the Site Emissions and Building Emissions tabs. From both tabs, you can export the data on the tab to Excel for manipulation.
The report includes the breakdown for all sources contributing to the selected scope. Use the Footprint by Source Category report to determine the buildings or sites that are contributing to scope 1 or scope 2 emissions.
Filtering the Report
Use the Filter console to select the site or building for which you want to generate the report. The Select Values lists in the Filter console include the sites, buildings, and years for which the application has calculated footprint emissions.
It is not required that you set a filter for this report. By clicking Show, you can generate the report for all your sites, calculation years, footprint scenarios.
When selecting from the Filter console be aware that certain selections you make affect the data that is available for subsequent selections. For example, when you select a Calculation Year, the Building and Site fields are restricted to show only the locations that have footprint data calculated for the selected year. This ensures that you make only selections for which data is available.
The Filter console includes the following selections:
| Filter Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Site or Building | You must select a site or a building. The selection list enables you to select multiple sites or buildings. See Selecting Multiple Values from Select Value Lists. |
|
Scenario Code Calculation Year |
Optionally, you can filter the report to include specific calculation years and footprint scenarios. You can select a single or multiple selections for each of these. |
| Emission Scope | You can also restrict by Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions. For Emission Scope, you must select either one or the other scope |
| Totals Per Area | The Filter console includes the Totals Per Area check box that enables you to view Total Emissions divided by the gross area of the building or site. This enables you to compare emissions for different locations by adjusting for the location's size. The calculation uses the Ext. Gross Area entered for the building on the Building Footprint Details tab of the Enter Building Footprint Data task. By default, this check box is not selected, so that the application shows Total Emissions for each building or site. |
Reviewing Site and Building Emissions Data
When you generate the Footprints by Source Category report, the report presents the Site Emissions tab. For each calculation year and scenario, the Site Emissions tab provides:
- Totals emissions for the site and the breakdown of emissions by source for the scope for which you have generated the report.
- For Scope 1, the breakdown includes Stationary Fuel Combustion, Company Road Transportation, Company Air Transportation, Company Transportation Total, and Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning
- For Scope 3, the breakdown includes Solid Waste, Liquid Waste, Total Waste, Employee Road, Employee Rail, Employee Air, Employee Total, Materials, Contractor, Outsourced, and Servers.
- The number of buildings associated with the site (Total Bldgs field)
- The number of buildings associated with the site for which the application has calculated carbon footprint (CF Bldgs field.)
From the Site Emissions tab, you can drill down to review Building Emissions Data.
- To review the breakdown of emissions for this emissions scope for all buildings, select the Buildings tab, or select any cell in the Total Emissions row shown in the first row of the report.
- To review the breakdown of emissions for a specific calculation year, site, building, or footprint scenario, select the row for the record and the Building Emissions tab presents only this information.
