Click **Emissions** in the left sidebar to review summary cards, scope tables, offsets, and renewable contracts. For portfolio rollups, see [Portfolio emissions overview](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-emissions-overview). For scopes and accounting methods, see [Emissions accounting](/products/energ/concepts/emissions-accounting). Use the portfolio **Emissions** group for [Benchmarking](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-emissions-benchmarking), [Emission factors](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-emissions-emission-factors), [Contracts](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-emissions-contracts), [Fleet emissions](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-emissions-fleet-emissions), and [Fugitive emissions](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-emissions-fugitive-emissions). ## Open Emissions Overview From [Portfolio Home](/products/energ/analytics/benchmarking), open a building in the building view. Click **Emissions** in the left sidebar. Emissions Overview for One Financial Plaza with Region filters Total Energy 5616495 kWh Scope 2 Market-based 0 Scope 2 Location-based 507296 kg CO2e GHG Emissions by Scope chart and Metrics table Trailing 12 Months ### Filter by region Use **Region** and the dependent region selector at the top right when your building spans multiple reporting regions. Summary cards, charts, and tables update for the scope you select. ### Summary cards Four cards roll up key drivers for the building. The two Scope 2 cards separate the 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** | Building energy consumption, such as **5,616,495 kWh** | | **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 site | ## 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 **kg CO₂e**. Compare year-over-year totals before you drill into the metrics table. ## Metrics table The **Metrics** table compares totals to a baseline for the period in the dropdown, such as **Trailing 12 Months**. | Column | What it shows | | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Metric** | Emissions or activity measure name | | **Total** | Value for the selected period | | **Baseline** | Reference value for comparison | | **Change** | Absolute and percent change. Green indicates improvement; red indicates movement away from baseline | Common rows include **Scope 2 location-based emissions**, **Scope 2 market-based emissions**, **Energy consumption**, **Water consumption**, **Waste**, and **Renewable energy certificates**. 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 Scroll below the overview charts for offset visualization and contract management. Emissions Offset Breakdown chart with Residual Emissions REC Avoided bars by 2024 2025 2026 and Renewable Energy Contracts card with No renewable contracts message and Add Contract button The **Emissions Offset Breakdown** chart shows residual emissions, REC avoided, onsite avoided, and onsite energy by year. For definitions of these offset series, see [RECs and offsets](/products/energ/concepts/emissions-accounting#recs-and-offsets). Use pagination when the chart has more than one view. The **Renewable Energy Contracts** card lists contract volume by year when contracts exist. Click **+ Add Contract** to record an instrument, or open [Volume contracts](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-emissions-contracts) for the full contract library and retirement workflow. ## Scope breakdown The **Scope Breakdown** section includes **Annual Emissions (kg CO₂e)**, **Annual Consumptions**, and **Annual Factors** tables. Scroll horizontally to view all columns. Scope Breakdown with Annual Emissions table Scope 2 District Steam and Electric Additional Services Water REC Retired Total Location Based Grand Total 5426308 and Annual Consumptions table with kWh and L columns For the Scope 2, Additional Services, REC, and Totals column groups, plus the intensity factors shown in **Annual Factors**, see [scope breakdown columns](/products/energ/reference/emissions-reference#scope-columns). Compare **Total Location Based** and **Total Market Based** when you report both GHG accounting methods. ## Next steps Understand scopes, methods, RECs, and factors. Look up scope column groups and record fields. Compare Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across buildings. Create, allocate, and retire REC volume. Toggle **Emissions** on monthly reports alongside usage and cost.
