Office (Energy consumption)

Emission intensity of energy consumption in an office building. This emission factor applies to office properties including free-standing offices / office terraces / unattributed office buildings and office parks. This factor should be used when primary data on actual building energy consumption (i.e. metered data) is available. Emissions are calculated using actual building energy consumption and average emission factors specific to the respective energy source. The emission factor refers to the use phase of the building only. The building’s construction or demolishment phase and its emissions are not covered. Retrieved from PCAF European building emission factor database updated in August 2023. The primary data source is CRREM Global Pathways. For detailed guidance on the application and interpretation of these emission factors please refer to the original documentation provided by the source.
