Add locations to an emission factor

Add locations to an emission factor after you create the factor. The reason you must add locations to a factor is that an organization may have different locations and each location may have a different factor value for different periods.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

Usually, the factors are obtained from standard sources such as the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) protocol. Each factor for a location is effective for a specified time period. When you add locations to an emission factor, you specify the factor value for that particular location.

Procédure

1. Navigate to All > Operational Sustainability Management > Operational Sustainability Workspace > Lists > Emission Factor Library > Factor.
2. Open the emission factor for which you want to add locations.
3. In the Emission factor locations related list, select New.
4. On the form, fill in the fields.

   Tableau 1. Emission factor location

   Field	Description
   Emission factor	Name of the emission factor for which you are adding the location. This field is automatically set.
   Effective from	Date the emission is effective from.
   Effective to	Date until which the emission would last. Remarque : If you do not specify the end date, then the factor value is applied indefinitely.
   Location	Location of your emissions. Remarque : If you do not specify a location, then the factor value applies to all the locations of your organization.
   Value	Value for the factor. For example, if natural gas emits 0.375 kg CO2eq/kWh ICV, then you can provide 0.375 as the value.

5. Select Submit.

Calculation logic for a location

Each location may have a parent location. For example, if your location is Tokyo, the parent location of Tokyo is Japan. Similarly, the parent location of Japan is Asia Pacific. If you select a parent location such as Japan in the Location field and specify the value as 1.5, then the metrics are calculated using the value of 1.5 for any location that does not have a record but has the parent location as Japan. Similarly, if you select Asia Pacific in the Location field and specify the value as 2.5, then the metrics are calculated using the value of 2.5 for any location that does not have a record but has the parent location as Asia Pacific.
