# energy_performance

As per the regulation on [the energy performance of buildings][ep]:

> The energy performance of a building shall be expressed by a numeric indicator of primary energy use in kWh/(m2.y) for the purpose of both energy performance certification and compliance with minimum energy performance requirements. The methodology applied for the determination of the energy performance of a building shall be transparent and open to innovation.

> Article 9:
> (a) climate change mitigation;
> (b) climate change adaptation;
> (c) the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources;
> (d) the transition to a circular economy;
> (e) pollution prevention and control;
> (f) the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.

### contributing

# ghg_emissions

Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) measured in metric tonnes of CO2 or other relevant greenhouse gases (see below).

See the [Directive for Greenhouse Gas emissions trading][ghg-trading]:

> (b) 'emissions' means the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere from sources in an installation or the release from an aircraft performing an aviation activity listed in Annex I of the gases specified in respect of that activity;

> (c) 'greenhouse gases' means the gases listed in Annex II and other gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and re-emit infrared radiation;

> See: ANNEX I for CATEGORIES OF ACTIVITIES TO WHICH THIS DIRECTIVE APPLIES

> **Annex II: Greenhouse Gases**
> Carbon dioxide (CO2)
> Methane (CH4)
> Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
> Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
> Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
> Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6)

# ghg_emissions_s3

Scope 3 GHG Emissions (see also: total `ghg_emissions`).

Scope 3 emissions are those emissions in the companies value/supply chain that are not direct emissions or related to indirect emissions from the purchase of energy resources (electricity, heat, gas, fuel) used in the company's operations.

As defined in Annex III of the [EU Benchmark regulations][eu-benchmark]:

> (i) Scope 1 carbon emissions, namely emissions generated from sources that are controlled by the company that issues the underlying assets;
>
> (ii) Scope 2 carbon emissions, namely emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, steam, or other sources of energy generated upstream from the company that issues the underlying assets;
>
> (iii) Scope 3 carbon emissions, namely all indirect emissions that are not covered by points (i) and (ii) that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream emissions, in particular for sectors with a high impact on climate change and its mitigation;
