Purpose & Scope
What this module owns
Clear ownership boundaries prevent duplication and ensure every capability has exactly one authoritative home.
Owns
10Delegated to
4Utility billing data, fleet management data
Building BMS, smart meters
Facility/asset mapping
Dashboards, regulatory reports
These capabilities are handled by dedicated modules and consumed via stable API contracts — keeping boundaries clean and ownership unambiguous.
Core Capabilities
What it does
4 capability groups comprising 15 discrete capabilities — each with API surface, business rules, and data ownership.
Track Scope 1 (direct: natural gas, fleet fuel, fugitive), Scope 2 (indirect: purchased electricity), and Scope 3 (employee commuting, travel, contracted services, waste) emissions.
Scope 1
Direct emissions — natural gas combustion, fleet fuel, fugitive refrigerants. Per facility/department.
Scope 2
Indirect emissions — purchased electricity using Ontario grid emission factors.
Scope 3
Value chain — employee commuting, business travel, contracted services, waste disposal.
Methodology
ISO 14064 and GPC protocol aligned. Activity data × emission factor = CO₂e tonnes.
Community-wide emissions inventory across residential, commercial/institutional, industrial, transportation, waste, and agriculture sectors.
Sector Breakdown
Residential, commercial/institutional, industrial, transportation, waste, agriculture sectors.
Data Sources
Utility aggregate data, transportation modeling, waste tonnage, agriculture estimates.
GPC Aligned
Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG Emissions Inventories — BASIC and BASIC+ reporting.
Maintain versioned emission factors per fuel type, Ontario electricity grid factor, natural gas, fleet fuel, and custom factors.
Per Fuel Type
Natural gas, diesel, gasoline, propane — each with specific CO₂, CH₄, N₂O factors.
Grid Factor
Ontario electricity grid emission factor — updated annually from IESO data.
Version Tracking
Historical factor versions retained for recalculation and audit trail.
Every module owns a single bounded context, exposes stable APIs, and can be composed into any Civic product — that's the architecture that scales.
