Emissions (Carbon) Intensity per GSF

The Emissions (Carbon) Intensity per GSF scenario metric calculates the efficiency of emission (carbon) intensity per GSF for the scenario.

Item Description
Name Emissions (Carbon) Intensity per GSF
Metric category Environmental
Metric objective Calculate the efficiency of emission (carbon) intensity per GSF for the scenario
Measurement

Total Emissions / Total Gross Area

Total Emissions = For a proposed location (lease or owned), the system uses the Estimated CO2 per GSF field from the selected Building Class to calculate the Estimated CO2 Emissions; for an existing building, the system maps the Total CO2e (Carbon Footprint) Equity Share field to the Supply Summary; for an existing lease, the system maps the Annual Total CO2e field to the Supply Summary.

Total Gross Area = The sum of the Supply Summary’s Gross Area field; includes leased, owned, and proposed locations; includes only records that are in the current focus period.
