Where 16.4 comes from

Derived by open-climate.ai

Σ 16.4: the two declared modules add up to the total. D stays beside it.

Reporting this square metre under the GHG Protocol

This period

This one figure covers both together; no split between them is given.

You buy the product for a building that is not yours. The product and its installation go to category 1, the delivery to category 4. The use stage belongs to the building owner; demolition waste you handle is category 5.

Later, when it happens

During use: the building owner reports it

  • Cradle to grave, embodied Scope 3, category 5 15.8

Outside the scopes, reported separately

  • D −1.77

A1-A3 to A5, B1, B3 to B7 and C1 to C4 are not declared: nothing to report.
