Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment Strategic Gap Analysis
Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment Strategic Gap Analysis Example – Company X Component Requirements Alignment Gap Analysis 1 – Commit Advanced trajectory for all new and existing buildings, within direct control of the organisation to operate at net zero carbon in operation by 2030. • None 2 – Disclose Measure, disclose and assess annual asset and portfolio energy demand carbon emissions. i. e. disclosure of asset/portfolio GHG emissions data (Scope 1 & 2 energy related as baseline) • Company X already discloses scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions at a portfolio and asset (where appropriate) level via CDP and its annual Stakeholder Impact Report. • Submit full asset level data to World. GBC in 2020. 3 – Act Develop and implement a carbon decarbonisation roadmap outlining key actions and milestones. i. e. energy efficiency measures, procurement of renewable energy • Company X in FY 18 achieved net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and was half way towards its goal of 100% renewable energy • By 2022, achieve 100% Renewable Energy. • Company X has 64% of it’s office space certified, or pursuing certification under a green building standard targeting energy efficiency. After 2020, all office interiors will align with LEED Platinum v 4 standards • Pursue certification across all offices to improve energy efficiency across assets and portfolio. Demonstrate enhanced energy performance, reduced carbon emissions & progress towards net zero carbon assets and portfolio. i. e. certification/verification of buildings to demonstrate EE, third party verification of portfolio wide GHG emission data • 64% of portfolio office space certified, or pursuing certification under a green building standard. • For any existing assets not certified, conduct third party verification • The three marquee offices will pursue net zero certification using an appropriate certification scheme. Company X has assured FY 18 emissions data and progress towards 100% Renewable Energy and Net-Zero GHG emissions commitments have been assured by their financial auditor (Ernst and Young) • Demonstrate verification of 100% RE Report on energy demand reduction measures and results Demonstrate leadership to support the transition towards net zero carbon buildings throughout business operations and supply chain. i. e. any additional scope, requirements of supply chain, enabling of clients / consumers etc. • Green lease language to prioritise direct metering, commissioning and retro-commissioning, energy efficiency projects. No gaps identified, but Company X are planning more action: • Company X evaluates products against four key criteria when procuring products – material health, environment (carbon footprint reduction, impact reduction through product’s life-cycle), material composition, and social responsibility) By 2025, 50% of Company X suppliers (by emissions) to set emissions reduction targets • 4 – Verify 5 – Advocate • • Fully aligned. Company target of new buildings by 2020, all buildings by 2025 to operate at net zero carbon. • Expand internal price on carbon, offsetting 100% of business travel and employee commuting emissions
