The GHG guidance modules : new buildings v1.0 / Infrastructure Canada.: T94-53/1-2024E-PDF

"This GHG Guidance Module provides information to help quantify greenhouse (GHG) emission reductions from the operation of a new building or facility. Emission reductions are based on the difference between a building or facility constructed according to relevant Canadian building codes (the baseline) and a building constructed with various energy efficient and GHG mitigation measures that are above and beyond the relevant building codes (the project). The GHG Guidance Modules provide a simplified, sector-specific approach to GHG quantification for various projects across Canada. They are intended to be used by qualified professionals with expertise related to the project and preferably some level of GHG accounting experience. Each GHG Guidance Module is based on international standards and sets out a pre-determined set of technical elements (i.e. baselines, activities and variables) and other considerations, required to quantify GHG benefits from a specific project type or sector. …"--Introduction, page 5.
