15 Community GHG emissions Scope-1 Scope-2 Scope-3 All direct emissions from sources within the geopolitical boundary of the community. Energy-related indirect emissions that occur outside the community boundary as a consequence of consumption/use of grid-supplied electricity, heating and/or cooling within the community boundary. All other indirect emissions that occur outside the boundary as a result of activities within the community s geopolitical boundary, as well as trans-boundary emissions due to exchange/use/consumption of goods and services

18 HEAT+ Tool 1 Create base year emissions inventory Define emissions reduction target for a specified year Forecast emissions for the target year Define measures to meet the target 5 Generate Action plan report Build inventories Inventory records are built with respect to modules, sectors, subsectors, emission source categories and calculators. Forecast Emissions are forecasted for respective sector and reference year to desired year with estimated growthrate. Targets Set according to sector and base year to desired target year and % of reduction Measures Built for various sectors in a similar manner as inventories based on targets set for emissions reduction. Reports created in multiple varieties for both the modules, all sectors of inventoriesi and measures and foraction plans.
