# Portfolio emissions overview

> Monitor portfolio GHG emissions, offsets, and renewable contracts in EnerG

Monitor greenhouse gas emissions across your portfolio in the [portfolio view](/products/energ/get-started/navigation#portfolio-view). Expand `Emissions` in the left sidebar and open `Overview` to review scope totals, offsets, and renewable contracts. For the accounting model behind these numbers, see [Emissions accounting](/products/energ/concepts/emissions-accounting).

At the building level, open [Emissions](/products/energ/buildings/emissions-overview) after you select a site. Use the portfolio **Emissions** group for benchmarking, emission factors, contracts, fleet, and fugitive tools.

## Navigate to Emissions Overview

Click `Emissions` in the portfolio left sidebar, then select `Overview`.

### Filter the portfolio

Use **Region** and **Select Building** filters at the top right to narrow charts and tables. Values in summary cards, charts, and scope tables update for the scope you select.

### Summary cards

Four cards roll up key drivers at the top of the page. The two <Tooltip tip="Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased energy such as electricity and district steam.">Scope 2</Tooltip> cards separate the two accounting methods described in [location- and market-based Scope 2](/products/energ/concepts/emissions-accounting#location-based-and-market-based-scope-2).

| Card                       | What it shows                                      |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Energy**           | Portfolio energy consumption for the active filter |
| **Scope 2 Market-based**   | Market-based Scope 2 emissions in kg CO₂e          |
| **Scope 2 Location-based** | Location-based Scope 2 emissions in kg CO₂e        |
| **Renewable Energy**       | Renewable energy attributed to the portfolio       |

## GHG emissions by scope

The **GHG Emissions by Scope (excl RECs & VERs)** chart shows total emissions by year. Turn **Breakdown** on to split bars by scope when your deployment supports it.

The vertical axis measures emissions in **kg CO₂e**. The horizontal axis lists calendar years in your reporting window.

## Metrics table

The **Metrics** table compares totals to a baseline for the period you select in the dropdown (for example, **Trailing 12 Months**).

| Column       | Description                                                                                                |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Metric**   | Emissions or activity measure name                                                                         |
| **Total**    | Value for the selected period                                                                              |
| **Baseline** | Reference value for comparison                                                                             |
| **Change**   | Absolute and percentage change. Green indicates improvement; red indicates movement away from the baseline |

Common rows include **Scope 2 location-based emissions**, **Scope 2 market-based emissions**, **Energy consumption**, **Energy generation (onsite)**, **Water consumption**, **Waste**, and **Renewable energy**.

Use the download control to export the full emissions table to an Excel (`.xlsx`) file. The export uses the same filters and period active on the page.

## Emissions offset and renewable contracts

Below the overview charts, review how offsets and renewable energy contracts affect net emissions.

</Frame>

### Emissions offset breakdown

The **Emissions Offset Breakdown** chart shows residual emissions, REC avoided, and onsite avoided reductions by year. For definitions of these offset categories, see [RECs and offsets](/products/energ/concepts/emissions-accounting#recs-and-offsets). Use pagination controls when the chart has more than one view.

### Renewable energy contracts

The **Renewable Energy Contracts** table lists contract volume by year.

| Column        | Description                                          |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Year**      | Contract year                                        |
| **Volume**    | Total contracted renewable volume (for example, kWh) |
| **Contracts** | Number of contracts in that year                     |

Click `+ Add Contract` to record a new <Tooltip tip="Renewable energy certificate: a tradable attribute representing renewable generation that can be allocated and retired.">renewable energy certificate (REC)</Tooltip> or volume contract. For full contract libraries, volume allocation, and retirement status, open [Volume contracts](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-emissions-contracts).

## Scope breakdown

The **Scope Breakdown** section includes wide tables for **Annual Emissions (kg CO₂e)** and **Annual Consumptions**. Scroll horizontally to view all scope and service-type columns. Column headers support sorting.

<Frame caption="Scope Breakdown with Annual Emissions and Annual Consumptions tables">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/kodelabs/Ph3_DUgZdP7vM-lt/images/energ/energ-portfolio-emissions-scope-breakdown.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Ph3_DUgZdP7vM-lt&q=85&s=b4a21557bef5c816375b03cfbcfabe55" alt="Scope Breakdown section showing Annual Emissions kg CO2e table with Scope 1 Scope 2 Additional Services RECs and Totals column groups and Annual Consumptions table with matching structure and Grand Total row" width="1024" height="612" data-path="images/energ/energ-portfolio-emissions-scope-breakdown.png" />
</Frame>

For the column groups in these tables, including <Tooltip tip="Direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources you own or control, such as on-site combustion, fleet fuel, and refrigerant loss.">Scope 1</Tooltip>, Scope 2, Additional Services, and REC columns, see [scope breakdown columns](/products/energ/reference/emissions-reference#scope-columns).

<Tip>
  Compare **Total Location Based** and **Total Market Based** in **Annual Emissions** when you report both GHG accounting methods.
