ENE 24 - Reduction of carbon emissions

Information correct as of 29thMarch 2024. Please see kb.breeam.com for the latest compliance information.

Ene 24 methodology - KBCN1613

This issue is scored based on % improvement relative to the BIU V6 carbon benchmark and average annual improvement across the reporting periods. [accordion] [accordion_block title="BIU V6 carbon benchmark"] Standard CO2 emissions: the tailored benchmark of a UK asset. Climate adjusted CO2 emissions: the benchmark for International assets. It adjusts the UK benchmark to account for national and regional differences. Net CO2: the actual CO2 emissions of the asset. Annual reduction in CO2 emissions: the annual average % figure used to score credits in Ene 24. [/accordion_block] [/accordion] Example scenario An international BIU asset calculates the improvement in CO2 emissions across 2 reporting periods. Calculation The asset demonstrates a 20% average annual improvement vs the benchmark. It scores 3 exemplary credits. How the calculation accounts for different reporting periods Most assessments will report on multiple fuels in each period. [accordion] [accordion_block title = "Calculating time between reporting periods"] Time between reporting periods is measured in days (this is converted to years in the final calculation). Time is measured from the middle of each reporting period. If more than one fuel is reported, the individual mid-dates for each fuel are combined through a weighting calculation. The mid-date is proportionally weighted towards fuels with larger associated CO2 emissions. [/accordion_block] [accordion_block title = "Maximum time between reporting periods"] The maximum time between any reporting period is 1460 days (3 years 364 days) between: These dates are not weighted by fuel consumption.
