Where 1.55 comes from

Derived by open-climate.ai

Σ 1.55: the two declared modules add up to the total. D stays beside it.

Reporting this kilogram under the GHG Protocol

This period

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

At end of life, in the year of demolition

  • End of life Scope 3, category 5 1.02

Outside the scopes, reported separately

  • D −0.656

A4, A5, B1 to B7 and C1 to C4 are not declared: nothing to report.

Maintenance is out because B2 is not declared. The recycling credit is module D, shown beside the total.

Gases
