Where 125 comes from

Derived by open-climate.ai

Σ 125: the four declared modules add up to the total. D stays beside it.

Reporting this square metre under the GHG Protocol

This period

Scope 3, category 2 82.3 Scope 3, category 4 27.5

The product becomes part of a building you own. The product and its installation go to category 2 in the year you buy it, the delivery to category 4. Use and end of life are reported in the years they happen.

Later, when it happens

At end of life, in the year of demolition

  • End of life Scope 3, category 5 15.7

Outside the scopes, reported separately

  • D −1.46

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

  • Fossil CO₂e125
