2.0 ORGANIZATION PROFILE

Name of facility for the purposes of this report:

55 Patterson

Status: Active

Managed by: Powerstream Inc.

Area: 7706 m2

Number of Employees (2015) 100 (same as baseline year)

3.0 GHG INVENTORY DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

3.1 Organizational Boundaries

CAN/CSA-ISO Standard 14064-1:06 Section 4.1 allows an organization to use a

different consolidation methodology where particular arrangements are defined by

a GHG program or legal contract. The consolidation methodology followed for this

GHG report is from LEED EM Credit EAc6, which is consistent with previous GHG

inventories. Specifically, the building is considered as a physical boundary, and

the emissions will be consolidated to that boundary.

3.2 Operational Boundaries

The GHG emissions from sources falling within the organizational boundary

articulated in Section 3.1 and within the operational control of the owner are

categorized as follows:

4



Direct Emissions (Scope 1):

Energy Indirect Emissions (Scope 2):

Other Energy Indirect GHG Emissions (Scope 3):

Diesel used in generators Electricity See section 3.3 for details

Cooling units loss of refrigerants

3.2.3 Other Energy Indirect GHG Emissions (Scope 3)

As per CAN/CSA-ISO Standard 14064-1:06, no other Energy Indirect GHG

emissions (Scope 3) are required to be included in a GHG inventory. The tenant

uses natural gas to fuel their commercial stove and oven. No other Scope 3

emissions activities were reported within the baseline or performance year. Scope

3 emissions are not within the scope of this inventory.

3.2.4 Removal Projects

No removal projects were completed during the prefomrance period.

3.3 Quantification of GHG Emissions and Removals

3.3.1 Quantification Steps and Exclusions

Measuring GHG emissions directly is impractical for this building.

As such, the quantification methodology selected was to use activity data

multiplied by GHG emission or removal factors, as per CAN/CSA-ISO Standard

14064-1-06 Section 4.3.6. This methodology was selected as it was deemed to

minimize uncertainty and yield accurate, consistent and reproducible results.

6



Activity data was collected from site natural gas and electricity bills. Emission

factors from Canada’s most recent annual National Inventory Report were used.

All calculated emissions in this report were obtained through the use of emission

factors. Energy consumption totals were multiplied by emission factors to get

emissions in tonnes of applicable GHG (e.g. CO2, CH4, and N2O). The emission

factors used are in Appendix A. There are no exclusions.

3.3.2 Calculations without using Emission Factors

Refrigerants are classified directly as greenhouse gases; therefore no emission

factors were required. Any refrigerant emissions were multiplied by the

appropriate GWP value shown in the table in Appendix A.

3.3.3 Selection of Quantification Methodologies

All quantification of emissions in this report is completed by multiplying

consumption data by the emission factors listed in Appendix A. The table below

lists the source of the consumption data for each emission source.

3.3.4 Selection and Collection of GHG Activity Data

A complete list of activity data for all emissions sources is available in Appendix B.

This data were used to calculate the consumption falling within the performance

(reporting) period.

3.3.5 Selection of Development or GHG Emission or Removal Factors

Emission factors were selected by the quantifier to conform to Canadian standard

inventory reporting, wherever possible. Emission factors were obtained from the

7



most recent National Inventory Report. There were no removals reported for this

period.

4.0 GHG INVENTORY COMPONENTS

4.1 GHG Emissions and Removals

The table in section 1 Results shows the total GHG emissions for all activity types

in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). A full list of GHG emissions by

source is provided in Appendix B.

There were no removals reported for the performance period.

4.2 Organizational Activities to Reduce GHG Emissions or Increase GHG

Removals

No reduction or removal enhancement projects, or directed actions, were

undertaken or completed during the reporting period.

4.3 Assessing and Reducing Uncertainty

4.3.1 Uncertainties

Estimation uncertainty arises any time greenhouse gas emissions are quantified.

For this inventory, uncertainty is associated with quantifying the parameters used

as inputs (e.g. activity data, emission factors, or other parameters).

The level of uncertainty is outlined in Table 7.

APPENDIX C: STANDARD REPORTING DECLARATION

The following table provides a summary of the reporting information required by

CAN/CSA-ISO Standard14064-1-06. Provided in the declaration’ column is

Powerstream’s assertion of 55 Patterson’s inventory.



Table C1. Reporting Information

CSA Reporting Requirement Declaration

A Description of the reporting organization. Powerstream is the owner of 55 Patterson Road. Powerstream has registered the building in the Canada Green Building Council’s LEED-EB Program and is targeting LEED-EB Energy and Atmosphere credit 6: Emission Reduction Reporting. As part of that initiative, they are reporting 55 Patterson Road’s greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions with the CSA Registry. 55 Patterson Road emits GHG’s through their use of natural gas, diesel, refrigerants, and electricity. The total gross floor area of the building is 7706 m2, and the building occupancy is approximately 100 people.

B Person responsible. Dennis Cuzzolino, Powerstream

C Reporting period covered December 1, 2015 to November 30, 2016

D Documentation of organizational boundary “Physical facility approach” defined by the LEED-EB Canada Energy and Atmosphere credit 6 Emissions Reduction Reporting Program; this is a different consolidation methodology than typically defined, but is still within CSA/ISO14064-1 guidelines.

E Direct GHG emissions, quantified separately for each GHG, in tonnes of CO2e

See Table 3.

F A description of how CO2 emissions from the combustion of biomass are treated in the GHG inventory

Not applicable to this inventory.

G If quantified, GHG removals, quantified in tonnes of CO2e


H Explanation for the exclusion of any GHG sources or sinks from quantifications

This inventory includes all Energy Indirect GHG emissions. GHG sinks are not applicable to this inventory

I Energy Indirect GHG emissions associated with the generation of imported electricity, heat or steam, quantified separately in tonnes of CO2e.

See Table 5.

J The historical base year selected and the base-year GHG inventory.

Base year (Baseline): December 1, 2014 to November 30, 2015. This baseline was chosen due to the performance period requirements of the Canada Green Building Council LEED program. The baseline was determined in this report. See Appendix B for the baseline GHG emission summary.

K Explanation of any change to the base year or other historical GHG data, and any recalculation of the base year or other historical GHG inventory


L Reference to, or description of, quantification methodologies including reasons for their selection.

Calculations are based on GHG activity data multiplied by GHG emission factors for natural gas, diesel and electricity. Refrigerants are classified directly as greenhouse gases; therefore no emission factors were required. Any refrigerant emissions are multiplied by the appropriate GWP value shown in the table in Appendix A.

M Explanation of any change to quantification methodologies previously used.


N Reference to, or documentation of, GHG emission or removal factors used.

See Appendix A.

O Description of the impact of uncertainties on the accuracy of the GHG emissions and removals data.

Uncertainties in calculations include error margins in emissions factors and measured activity data. Emission factors were determined by the most local and credible source available at the time of reporting. Activity data is based on natural gas, diesel and electricity utility bills consumption received from Powerstream. Refrigerant data is based on total refrigerant charge received by Powerstream Based on these sources, the level of uncertainty is assumed to be fair.
