[GHG Network] Emission Factors for Office Buildings in Canada &USA

[Chris Doherty]

Where can I find a similar database for average energy use by building type
for other countries, specifically the UK?

 

Cheers,

 

Chris

The US Energy Information Administration maintains a very complete database
of average energy usage by type of building and region.  See
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/consumption/index.html  You can then use that
data and apply a regional emissions factor to calculate carbon emissions.
By way of comparison, USEPA's Climate Partners program suggests using a
figure of 13.5 kwh/square foot to calculate the energy consumed in leased
office space.

For organizations that lease office space and do not have visibility on
utility bills and/or separate utility metering, can anyone suggest a
credible source for the range of GHG emission factors based the amount
(i.e., area) of space occupied? 
  
Clearly, this would depend on building characteristics, location, fuel
sources, operating procedures, etc. What I am looking for is a reference to
averages, or methodology to calculate these. 
  
Thanks ... Duncan
