What the numbers say

Category 13 is 90% of this building

Tenant energy in leased space is effectively this building's entire footprint — Maple & Finch Solicitors alone is 48% of it. The lever here is tenant engagement, not the landlord's own operations.

All tenant energy is measured data

Every tenancy reports on rung 1 (actual data) — the whole footprint is GRESB-eligible and the uncertainty band is tight.

Footprint is -11.5% over 2022–2024

A genuine downward trend — see the year-on-year chart below for the split between operational improvement and one-off effects.

Provenance — how 134.5 tCO₂e is derived

Record	kWh	Emission factor	Rung	tCO₂e
Maple & Finch Solicitors Electricity · Tenant portal submission · evidence attached	313,000	DEFRA 2024 — UK electricity 0.2070 kgCO₂e/kWh	Rung 1	64.8
Northgate Media Electricity · Tenant portal submission · evidence attached	273,400	DEFRA 2024 — UK electricity 0.2070 kgCO₂e/kWh	Rung 1	56.6

Total				134.5

Each record = activity quantity (kWh) × a pinned DEFRA emission factor. Records are append-only; corrections supersede, never overwrite.

Uncertainty — each record carries a tier-based σ (log-space); a correlated Monte Carlo (5,000 iterations) produces the 95% band 121.0–149.8 tCO₂e.

Method — HemeraScope asset-v1, UKGBC Table 4 accuracy ladder. Reproducible: the same inputs replay to the same number.

Factor lineage

Trace every kgCO₂e back to the exact emission factor row, version and vintage it came from — plus any analyst override that altered the calculated number.

Footprint over time

Down 11.5% since 2022 — a steady operational improvement as tenant energy is measured and reduced, not a one-off.

Relevant Scope 3 activities & how to collect the data

highCat 13 — Downstream leased assetsrelevance 7.5

▸Use actual tenant energy data where readily available.
▸Where not, apply the tenant-energy estimation ladder (UKGBC Table 4).

mediumCat 1 — Purchased goods and servicesrelevance 4.7

▸Request a spend breakdown for the reporting year from procurement, by category/supplier.
▸Subtract spend already reported under energy or upstream transport.

mediumCat 2 — Capital goodsrelevance 4.7

▸Use spend data to split operating vs capital costs.
▸Ask finance for capital goods with acquisition dates.

mediumCat 3 — Fuel- and energy-related activitiesrelevance 4.7

▸Take the electricity and fuel figures already in the Scope 1 & 2 footprint.

lowCat 6 — Business travelrelevance 2.5

▸Pull mode, distance and class from the central travel-booking system.

lowCat 5 — Waste generated in operationsrelevance 2.5

▸Request waste quantity by disposal route from waste collectors and landlords.
▸Tenant waste is excluded from the boundary by default (optional for GRESB).
