What the numbers say

Category 13 is 100% of this building

Tenant energy in leased space is effectively this building's entire footprint — Riverside Retail Co alone is 59% of it. The lever here is tenant engagement, not the landlord's own operations.

100% of the footprint is estimated

Benchmark-estimated tenancies sit at rung 5. They are not GRESB-eligible and widen the uncertainty band — a tenant data request climbs the ladder.

Footprint is +14.4% over 2022–2024

The footprint is rising — worth decomposing before the next reporting cycle. See the trend chart below.

Provenance — how 13.5 tCO₂e is derived

Record	kWh	Emission factor	Rung	tCO₂e
Riverside Retail Co Electricity · CIBSE TM46 benchmark · floor-area estimate	38,200	DEFRA 2024 — UK electricity 0.2068 kgCO₂e/kWh	Rung 5	7.9
Harbour Books Electricity · CIBSE TM46 benchmark · floor-area estimate	27,100	DEFRA 2024 — UK electricity 0.2066 kgCO₂e/kWh	Rung 5	5.6
Total				13.5

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 9.9–18.4 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

Up 14.4% since 2022 — driven by rising occupancy; intensity per m² is the fairer read while the building fills.

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).
