Non-residential total

Emission intensity of a non-residential total building. Non-residential total does not distinguish between building types but takes the country average of all non-residential buildings (including weighted occurrence of non-residential building types). This factor should be used when estimated building energy consumption per building based on building type and location specific statistical data and the number of buildings are available. Emissions are calculated using estimated building energy consumption and average emission factors specific to the respective energy source. The emission factor refers to the use phase of the building only. The building’s construction or demolishment phase and its emissions are not covered. Retrieved from PCAF European building emission factor database updated in August 2023. The primary data source is CRREM Global Pathways. For detailed guidance on the application and interpretation of these emission factors please refer to the original documentation provided by the source.
