Emission intensity of working from home - default. Published by the Ministry for the Environment of New Zealand in 2023. Retrieved from the 2023 Emission Factors Flat File at the source URL. The emission factor has been developed based on typical uses of the following emissions sources by staff members working from home; a laptop plus monitor/lighting and optionally heating. The default factor assumes heating is run for five months of the year and could be used where more granular data on the actual use of home heating is not available. For detailed guidance on the application and interpretation of these emission factors please refer to the original documentation provided by the source.
