0:25good morning welcome to the third
0:28lecture of third week of this ongoing
0:30online course on understanding and
0:32reducing gig emissions we are focusing
0:34on scope 1 and 2 emission reduction
0:36through building design and construction
0:38and this is the lecture 13th or third
0:41lecture of third week where we are going
0:44to start discussing about identification
0:47and determination of scope 1 2 and 3G
0:50emissions now here in this particular
0:53lecture we are not directly going to
0:56talk about scope 1 2 and 3 g a g
0:59emissions before we do that we are going
1:02to identify the organizational and
1:05operational boundaries which we had
1:07briefly introduced in the previous
1:09lecture of yesterday once we have
1:13understood the boundaries then we can
1:15talk about the scope 1 2 and 3 emissions
1:17and it will be very clear so we're going
1:20to continue this particular lecture
1:21tomorrow when we move from understanding
1:24the boundaries to identifying scope 1 2
1:28and 3 remissions so yesterday we were
1:31talking about the iso 14064 its
1:34structure description the benefits the
1:37the framework how it works and there one
1:42aspect that we had clearly identified
1:44was to how to identify the the
1:48boundaries the organizational boundaries
1:50so today in the this particular lecture
1:53we are going to cover the first three
1:54points which is Introduction where to
1:58act and how to act and if you remember
2:00our discussion yesterday we clearly
2:04discussed that 14064 ISO 14064 and ghg
2:08protocol they are complementary to each
2:11other and while the 14064 talks about
2:16what to do the gig protocol clearly
2:20talks about how to do it so this is what
2:23we are going to see that how we Define
2:25these boundaries and go about it so
2:28quickly giving you an overview that gag
2:31protocol the corporate standard we are
2:33talking about it defines the it
2:36classifies the companies Gig emissions
2:39into three Scopes scope one two and
2:42three and that I had told you towards
2:43the end of yesterday's lecture also that
2:46scope 1 is the direct emission from
2:49owned or controlled sources scope 2 is
2:51the indirect emission that has resulted
2:54resulting from the purchased energy and
2:57rest of the indirect emissions we are
2:59putting in scope 3 both for Downstream
3:02and Upstream operations ah in the value
3:05chain of the company so with this we
3:08have to clearly understand that how do
3:11we actually develop the gag inventory
3:14and for that we have to see that what is
3:18the what is the boundary now if we look
3:21at this these Force steps which we had
3:23discussed earlier too we have clearly
3:27this discussion where we know that step
3:301 and 2 is defining where to act which
3:33is we have to set up these boundaries we
3:36have to know where to act and for that
3:38we have to identify the boundaries and
3:41the inventories within them once we have
3:43done that that is when we will go to the
3:46Second Step which is how to act where we
3:50will then develop a management plan for
3:52the inventory so we already know what is
3:55the boundary what are the inventories
3:57within that and we have collected the
3:59data related to these inventories this
4:01is where to act and how to act once we
4:04have the data and the inventory is in
4:06place we will know how to manage those
4:08inventories and then we set a gag
4:11emission reduction Target so from the
4:13Baseline year which we had discussed to
4:16the Target year how much should be the
4:18reduction will come in the step 4 once
4:22we know how to manage the inventory so
4:24these are the four basic steps now let
4:26us begin with the steps one by one so
4:29we're talking about where to act first
4:30so the first thing is to to identify the
4:35scope and plan the inventory so here we
4:38are actually determining and defining
4:41the organizational and operational
4:43boundaries which is the most important
4:45thing and once we do that after that we
4:48choose a baseline here we have to Define
4:50that which we had discussed earlier also
4:52and we also have to consider the third
4:55party verification and validation for
4:57this inventory so the first thing which
5:00is most important is to identify where
5:03what are your boundaries what do you
5:05consider as the company's assets and
5:08resources so very broadly if we look for
5:12example we have a parent company here
5:14and it has several you know subsidiary
5:18companies company a b c d now this
5:21entire thing is within the
5:23organizational boundary so all the
5:26assets which are owned by these
5:29companies also are going to be
5:31considered as part of the organizational
5:33boundary for the parent company so the
5:36parent company could be a very big
5:38company and there could be subsidiary
5:40companies smaller companies dealing with
5:42specific products or specific Services
5:46all these companies and their their
5:49assets where the operations are
5:52happening are part of the organizational
5:54boundary and where the operations are
5:57happening that goes into the operational
5:59boundaries for example there is a there
6:02is a controlled building which is owned
6:04by whatever company this it could be
6:07owned by several companies different
6:09buildings owned by several companies
6:11these are all part of operational
6:13boundary so when we are calculating the
6:16direct emissions we are actually looking
6:18at the emissions happening within the
6:20operational boundary and when we are
6:23looking at the value chain the entire
6:25value chain we are looking at the entire
6:27organizational boundary so the people
6:31traveling so we may have the persons
6:34traveling which is an indirect emission
6:36going to the scope three so these are
6:39the indirect emissions which are
6:41happening though employee is going to to
6:44meet some prospective client or going
6:46for some business meeting so the
6:48emissions which are resulting from that
6:50are coming within the organizational
6:52structure the the entire organization of
6:55the company and that will go in the
6:58third category the indirect emissions
7:00from the the downstream operations so
7:03this is what we have to first understand
7:05that what all is part of the
7:07organization and what all is part of the
7:09operations I will give you an example
7:12for example IIT root key has three
7:15campuses IIT rookie has a IIT roorkee
7:18main campus which is situated in IIT
7:21rookie and it also has another campus in
7:25saharanpur and a third campus in Greater
7:28Noida now as an organization we have
7:31these three campuses okay now all the
7:35emissions which are directly resulting
7:37from these three are part of this
7:41organization itself and when we go
7:44operations Within These specific ones we
7:47will get the direct emissions and we
7:49will also get the indirect emissions
7:51from the organization of these three
7:54campuses which is part of IIT roorkee as
7:57a as a parent organization this is what
8:00we are talking about so while for
8:03smaller companies for example a single
8:07industry unit for example a small
8:09industrial unit manufacturing unit is
8:11there which has only one of plant which
8:14is operating and one corporate office
8:17this is all this per particular company
8:19has so this organization is very small
8:22and its operations are also happening
8:25here but consider a a very large company
8:28for example for example say
8:31an oil selling company a fuel selling
8:35company
8:36now that is having its operations in a
8:41you know different Geographic locations
8:43and it is just operations in in the in
8:46terms of extraction of oil or maybe if
8:50it owns but the bigger network is of its
8:53sellers
8:54thousands of outlets across the world
8:57are selling fuel now all these are also
9:01part of the operational boundary
9:04now within that we have to see and we
9:08will go in detail over this too that how
9:10many of these assets are fully under the
9:13control of the company owned by the
9:15company or how many of these are going
9:17to be leased by somebody else or there
9:20might also be a franchisee option so
9:23what are those Equity Holdings that is
9:26what we have to see when we go into
9:27organization as well as operations
9:29boundaries but everything wherever the
9:32country the company is having a control
9:35and its uh it's delivering the product
9:39or its operating is all within the the
9:43organizational boundary and the
9:45operating boundary so we cannot neglect
9:49or ignore
9:50any part which is directly getting
9:53affected by companies decisions or is
9:56contributing to the company's growth out
9:59of either of the two boundaries so that
10:01is what we have to see now if you look
10:03at the organization boundary broadly
10:05there are two approaches one is a
10:07control approach and the other one is an
10:09equity share approach currently the
10:12reporting gag emission reporting
10:14requires a company to follow either one
10:18of the approach but to actually account
10:21for or rather to follow the principle of
10:25completeness in Gig emissions a company
10:28is required to follow both the
10:30approaches and report and Define its
10:32organizational boundary based upon both
10:35the approaches but currently JG emission
10:38for now requires a company to Define its
10:41organization boundary based upon any one
10:43approach either control approach or
10:45equity share approach now control
10:47approach is again it could be two-way
10:49but whenever a company chooses control
10:52approach they have to go ahead both with
10:54operational as well as Financial so
10:56operational approach is where the
10:59company has 100 percent control over the
11:02operations of a subsidiary company or
11:05anything working under it that is called
11:08a an operational approach and financial
11:10approach is where again the company has
11:13complete control of its Financial
11:15operations so that is where it is known
11:18as Financial control approach now there
11:22could be a possibility that the
11:24operational control or the financial
11:26control of the subsidiary company or the
11:30uh the end organization
11:34partly is getting controlled by the
11:37parent company for example if I am a
11:40manufacturing company for example I am
11:41an automobile manufacturing company I
11:44might be buying smaller parts from some
11:47smaller vendor I may not have any
11:51control over this particular vendor as
11:54far as its operations are concerned but
11:56when it comes to financial control I
11:59might have an agreement with the company
12:01saying for the next three years the
12:04smaller vendor is going to manufacture
12:05this particular part only for my man my
12:08automobile company and I will be driving
12:11its Financial operations and I will be
12:13controlling its Financial operations
12:15because I have signed this mou that he
12:17can make Parts only for my company and
12:20no other company for this particular
12:23duration or something like that there I
12:25have some Financial control over the
12:28operations of that company in that case
12:31the emissions resulting from this
12:34company the the company which is which
12:38is there in my value chain
12:40value chain of my company the emissions
12:43resulting from that are also going to
12:45accrue to the to the parent company
12:47there could be another scenario that I
12:50am only buying the part so the order is
12:53given and the part is delivered by the
12:55company but it is not bound to
12:57manufacture only for the parent
12:59automobile Manufacturing Company in that
13:02case there is no Financial control the
13:04same as with operational control if I
13:07have an equity investment and there the
13:11policy matters and decisions are being
13:14governed by the parent parent company
13:16also then the emissions accruing from
13:19there will be added to the parent
13:21company as well and if the up the
13:24decisions are not affected the
13:27operational decisions are not affected
13:28by the parent company then the emissions
13:31are not getting accrued to the parent
13:33company this is how this control
13:34approach will work so whatever we are
13:37controlling whether through operations
13:39or through finances wherever whatever
13:43percentage of control we have as a
13:45parent company the emissions are going
13:47to accrue to the parent company now a
13:50lot of places whenever we're talking
13:52about mncs and bigger companies for for
13:55Quality check and quality assurance we
13:59have often some equities take Financial
14:02equities take and operational
14:06thereby giving us the operational rights
14:08and also control over the activities
14:11there the emissions were also accrue I
14:15can give you several examples to
14:16understand this for example if you would
14:18see
14:19some clothing
14:22companies some big Brands any big brand
14:25for that matter they do not manufacture
14:27their their clothes line entirely some
14:31manufacturing units might be owned by
14:33them but a lot of times the
14:36manufacturing units are somewhere in
14:38smaller developing countries a lot of
14:41fabric is being manufactured in in
14:43Bangladesh now what this bigger company
14:46MNC is doing this bigger brand is doing
14:49that it is it has given a set of
14:52standards
14:54which the manufacturing company
14:57has to follow in the sense these are
14:59standardized so they will buy the
15:01product from them if it passes all these
15:04checks which are there and they will buy
15:07such a product which has qualified or
15:11passed through all those checks but they
15:13do not interfere in how the the company
15:18is operating in that case the emissions
15:21accruing from this smaller Fabric or
15:24garment manufacturing company will not
15:26be accrued to the bigger manufacturing
15:29company
15:30however
15:31if the parent company or the bigger
15:34brand kind of makes it mandatory for the
15:38smaller brand to follow certain standard
15:40for example it says that this smaller
15:43company has to mandatorily follow ISO
15:469001 or has to follow ISO 14064 in that
15:51case
15:52the emissions accruing from that because
15:54this is kind of
15:57interfering or rather having a stake in
16:00the operations of the company they are
16:02the emissions are crewing will also be
16:04partly accrued to the to the bigger
16:07company the parent company the second
16:09approach is equity share approach which
16:11is clearly the equity which the company
16:14or the the percentage of ownership that
16:17the company has in the uh in the
16:20subsidiary company or the the smaller
16:23company which is supplying to the parent
16:24company so depending upon the percentage
16:27Equity the ownership that is there it
16:30will have the percentage of emissions
16:33accrued to the bigger company so right
16:36in the beginning the company has to
16:38decide what all is part of its
16:41organization and what percentage is part
16:44of the operations what all is part of
16:48operations and organization and what
16:50percentage of it is part of the
16:52operations and organization so for
16:55example I was I have been continuously
16:57giving you this example of I.T company
16:59and managing its own Fleet of
17:01Transportation now suppose the ID
17:03company says that I don't want to own
17:05the vehicles why should I manage it and
17:09I lease it to some X company and I say
17:13that I want you to provide me the
17:16services for bringing my employees to
17:19the to the office I have I do not guide
17:22or direct that you have to have a fleet
17:25of electric vehicles or conventional
17:28vehicles and all I am doing is I am I
17:32have leased I have leased the service by
17:36I have no ownership in that case there
17:40will be no emissions accruing from this
17:43Fleet of transportation to my gig
17:47emission set so I will have no control
17:49over it however if I have a building I I
17:54take a building on lease or rather I own
17:56a building for example the bigger it
17:59companies so they they buy the land they
18:03develop their own offices
18:05Corporate Offices I.T offices where
18:08people are going to come and this entire
18:10facility is 100 owned by the company
18:12this is where we will have hundred
18:15percent ownership of the emissions
18:16resulting there could be a case where we
18:19have leased the facility in that case
18:23depending upon the type of lease we will
18:26have
18:27emissions accrued there could also be
18:30the case where we are not related for
18:33example there is a there is a franchisee
18:36which is only buying our product and
18:38selling not in the case of IT company
18:40for example in the case of a government
18:43manufacturing company now that
18:45franchisee it is not a company owned
18:48store it is not a company operated store
18:51all they are doing is they are buying a
18:52franchisee buying the product from the
18:55parent company the bigger brand and
18:58selling it there in that case the the
19:01emissions accruing from that facility
19:03will not be accounted into the account
19:05of gig emissions for the parent company
19:08so this is slightly tricky but it has to
19:11be resolved right in the beginning
19:13so the bigger the company is the more
19:17assets it has and The Wider it is its
19:20distribution Network we will have we
19:23will have to invest a lot of time to
19:26understand that what are my organization
19:28boundaries for example if if you read
19:31the protocol and then I will give you a
19:34lot of different examples too a very uh
19:37large
19:38cosmetic giant now these cosmetic
19:42companies they have their small shops
19:45Outlets almost you know everywhere
19:47across the world or wherever
19:49geographically they have a presence but
19:52in each City they could have some 15 odd
19:54Outlets
19:55which are the company which are
19:59franchises of the company directly
20:01operated by the by the company smaller
20:04shops they are run by somebody else but
20:07they are company owned or the company
20:10operated there all these Outlets will
20:14have a direct impact on the gig
20:17emissions the other way is where a
20:21bigger Mall purchases has a smaller
20:24counter selling the products from this
20:27Cosmetic Company but it manages
20:30everything on its own but has just
20:31product being displayed and sold in that
20:35bigger Mall there there will be no
20:38direct emissions according to the to the
20:41parent company now when we are deciding
20:43this organizational boundary we have to
20:46understand the entire value chain and
20:49this is the first task that we have to
20:52start with understanding the
20:54organization so we will have the
20:57operations of the company which are
20:59which are in the present here so we have
21:03to understand the operational carbon or
21:06the emissions accruing from operations
21:08which is known as opcar we have the
21:11upstream and downstream operations
21:13Downstream for example from the running
21:16the in use emissions so here we will
21:19call it as use curve and the embodied
21:22carbon so when we are purchasing the
21:24material when we are purchasing the raw
21:26material or the you know when the
21:28procurement is being done so that is the
21:31embodied carbon or the capital carbon so
21:34this is what known as cap cut all that
21:36together is actually the carbon
21:39footprint or we are here talking about
21:42the gig emissions so from Upstream to
21:45the downstream
21:46all of it is part of the emotions or
21:50carbon footprint of the company the only
21:52thing here would be to know which one
21:55goes where scope one scope 2 scope 3 and
21:58in what percentage depending upon the
22:00ownership or the equity or control that
22:03we have over this this particular
22:05emission that is happening in the entire
22:07value chain so quickly giving you an
22:10idea of what all goes into upstream and
22:12what all goes into Downstream all the
22:16purchased goods and services the capital
22:19goods the fuel and energy related
22:21activities
22:23the Upstream transportation and
22:25distribution
22:26the waste which is generated in the
22:29operations and hence requiring a
22:31treatment the travel for businesses the
22:35employee commuting which we've just
22:37talked about the Upstream leads assets
22:39it is all in the Upstream side of the
22:43value chain Downstream is where we are
22:46processing the processing of sold
22:49products and use of sold products is
22:51happening or end of life treatment of
22:53sold products or ah the downstream lease
22:56assets franchisees Investments so all
23:00this is Downstream so we have from
23:03manufacturing of the goods to selling
23:06and also recycling of the goods if that
23:08is a mandate so this entire is value
23:10chain here from procurement and
23:13Manufacturing all this is upstream and
23:16from selling and you know processing the
23:19sold products is all what we are talking
23:21about as the downstream and in between
23:24we will have the the operations of the
23:27company which will actually be resulting
23:30in the scope 1. once we've defined the
23:33organizational boundary which kind of
23:35includes everything we have to set its
23:37operational boundaries for example if we
23:40are talking about the uh the uh say a
23:43developer company a construction company
23:45so we have to know where and how much is
23:50actually going in operations and which
23:53particular activity so we for a
23:55construction company it could be
23:56individual components that for example
23:59windows
24:00how much is going in Windows or roof or
24:03walls or what it could be different for
24:05different companies so we have to know
24:07that where exactly is the emission
24:10happening from direct and indirect we
24:13will talk about indirect going into
24:15scope 2 and 3 again but here we have to
24:18clearly know that which are the direct
24:20emissions which are accruing here from
24:22my processes this is what we will do
24:25when we set our operational boundaries
24:27where the operations are happening for
24:30example if we have say Airlines air
24:33carriers now for them all the emissions
24:37that are resulting from their carriers
24:40flying from one place to the other
24:41because it is direct operations these
24:43are the assets that they directly own
24:46even if they have taken these planes on
24:48lease for say another 25 30 40 50 years
24:51it is 100 with them this asset is lying
24:55with them it has been leased to to the
24:57parent company of this Airlines so the
25:00emissions that are accruing there which
25:02is a direct fuel is the direct emission
25:06that we are talking about however if I
25:09am say for example an academic
25:11institution my faculty or students they
25:14travel to attend meetings or to attend
25:17workshops go to attend International
25:19collaboration projects there their
25:22travel is not a direct emission it is
25:25going in the indirect emission so that
25:28is what we are talking about for example
25:30if I am a petroleum company and I have I
25:35extract the product
25:37I have my own extraction Wells I process
25:40it I clean it and then I sell it
25:44all the emissions that are accruing from
25:47this particular product which is the
25:49petrol petroleum product as a fuel these
25:52are all my direct emissions but once I
25:55have sold that product to some other
25:58company which is running its Fleet of
26:00Transportation of maybe an airline
26:02carrier the emissions that are resulting
26:05from the use of that product is not by
26:08emission until the selling of the
26:10product the petroleum fuel is my
26:13emission and once it has been sold it is
26:16going to become the direct emission for
26:18somebody else so that is what that is
26:20where we have to understand the
26:22operational boundaries of that once it
26:24has gone petroleum has a fuel and filled
26:27the tank of somebody else's Fleet the
26:29emissions are now the direct emissions
26:32for somebody else so this is where we
26:34have to see and the direct emissions as
26:37well as indirect emissions could result
26:39from anything they could result from
26:41buildings for from Manufacturing within
26:44the industry if we have a product they
26:47could be from from agriculture or
26:49forestry or other land use that we can
26:52be talking about it could be electricity
26:54production as well as electricity
26:56consumption so all this could be direct
26:59as well as indirect emissions there is
27:01no distinction it totally depends upon
27:04our operational boundaries and our
27:06organizational boundaries that which
27:08goes where so that is where the
27:11operational boundary become very very
27:13important so as to Define that what is
27:16scope 1 scope 2 or scope 3 of the
27:19emission we will know direct and
27:20indirect and then within indirect we
27:22will know scope two and three once we
27:26have selected the organizational and
27:28operational boundary we will then select
27:30a base year so which year do we want to
27:34serve as the base year as a company
27:36which is which is old and established
27:38and I know that I was performing worse
27:41there I might be choosing a Baseline
27:44performance for example 2018 was the
27:46worst performing year I know as a
27:48company but I decide to to start
27:51accounting for gag emissions from today
27:55but I know of course as the company is
27:58growing I know of the policy decisions
28:00and the assets that I had owned then and
28:02the processes that were going on then so
28:05I can choose the base year as 2018 and
28:08calculate all the greenhouse gas
28:10emissions based upon 2018 data for the
28:13Baseline and then I set a target for
28:16myself that okay by 2030 I would have
28:19reduced the emissions from that Baseline
28:21of 2018 by 50 percent so the methodology
28:25the inventory the organizational and
28:28operational boundary everything would
28:31have already been defined and the data
28:33the First Data for calculating the
28:35Baseline emission would be that of 2018
28:38data once we've done that we will then
28:41continue to measure and monitor the
28:44emissions and have a target for the year
28:472030 that is when I have to reduce It by
28:50Say 50 so this is what we will do
28:53setting the boundaries and and then
28:55choosing the base year once we have
28:58identified the base here and we've set
29:01the organizational boundary which
29:03implies that we've already identified
29:05the inventories because we know the
29:07organization we know all the assets all
29:10the resources that the company owns or
29:13controls or has an equity in we know the
29:16inventories that will go for each
29:19activity and for each asset for each of
29:21these inventories if you remember the
29:2414064 we already have some standard
29:27methodologies for accounting for each of
29:31these inventories we will select those
29:33methods and once we have selected we
29:35will start we will also identify how the
29:38data has to be collected for these
29:40inventories and then we will start
29:41collecting the collecting the data and
29:44putting it in these inventories we will
29:46have some data which will be missing or
29:48some data which is inaccurate once we go
29:52ahead with this process we would
29:53identify that where the data is missing
29:56or what more data is required and we
29:59will continue to put that data compile
30:03that data in the form of this inventory
30:05which we have already identified and as
30:08I said mentioned earlier we will choose
30:10the emission factors which are there and
30:12finally we will calculate the emissions
30:14which is the second part of second step
30:18of this which is to collect data and
30:20quantify gig emissions we have to do it
30:22for Baseline here and every year then
30:24until the target year and then we can
30:27select new Baseline here and then go on
30:31to set up another Target
30:33so the Baseline years can also continue
30:35to change and the target years can also
30:37continue to change it is totally up to
30:39the company because this is a voluntary
30:41reporting nobody is forcing this
30:43reporting onto a company and as I had
30:46mentioned earlier also again anything
30:49that you will be able to measure is
30:52something that you will be able to
30:53manage and it is also something that we
30:56value so for example today we stop
30:59metering the electricity usage the
31:02moment we stop metering the electricity
31:04usage our usage will go haywire and we
31:07stop uh you know valuing it even if we
31:11have to we have to pay for it and then
31:13of course payment becomes difficult
31:15because there is no measurement of it
31:17the same is with for example attendance
31:20percentage in colleges so we have this
31:23minimum 75 percent but if we stop
31:26measuring it even if the 75 percent
31:28attendance rule is there we will
31:30probably not be able to achieve it
31:31because there is no measure sharing so
31:34what we value we measure and what we
31:36measure is what we what we manage with
31:39this principle we will we will go ahead
31:41and collect and quantify the gig
31:44emissions
31:46so what we have seen we have seen the
31:49first step as identify the sources that
31:52is part of the inventory identification
31:54we go ahead and select the calculation
31:57approach how do we calculate and then we
31:59collect the data and choose emission
32:00factors we apply it and we put up that
32:04data this is within the corporate that
32:06we put up to the higher authorities now
32:10how do we identify these emissions we
32:12have to see we have to Define that what
32:16you are making as Net Zero carbon so
32:17defining the boundaries we will see that
32:21where all Net Zero concept can really be
32:23applied so often we can not you know
32:26apply the Net Zero concept to the entire
32:29organization boundary or the entire
32:31operational boundary it could be done
32:33but for bigger organizations it is
32:35difficult so we can also identify these
32:38smaller boundaries within the
32:39operational or organizational boundary
32:41so of a parent company owning some 50
32:44odd different subsidiary companies we
32:47can we can Define that in the first go
32:50we are making this particular company
32:52company X as a net zero company and then
32:56go ahead with that and then we identify
32:58the greenhouse gas emissions of various
33:00activities both Upstream as well as
33:03Downstream and the direct emissions that
33:05are there in between
33:07identifying the global warming potential
33:09for different materials that are being
33:11going to be used different activities
33:13that are going to be performed so
33:15basically the choices that we have as
33:17I've been mentioning from a petroleum
33:20product based Transportation Fleet to an
33:22electric vehicle Fleet so we have we
33:25always have options of selection when we
33:28are making buildings when we are moving
33:30into buildings we can always have the
33:33selection of the choice of materials so
33:37whether we want to go for a fire delay
33:39break or a cseb or an AAC block so what
33:43is the embodied carbon or what is the
33:46emission which is there associated with
33:48the product and also then the thermal
33:51comfort and all and then this is what to
33:54do we are talking about what to do how
33:57to really do it that we have to
33:59formalize data collection procedures so
34:02we have to know how to collect the data
34:05what to collect and then we process it
34:08we document it and we process it so here
34:11we are talking about the inventory
34:13management plan we have already
34:15identified the inventory we've collected
34:17the data and now when we have all that
34:20data together we put it all together and
34:23identify how to manage this inventory
34:25the quality of this inventory which has
34:28to be done for several years down the
34:31line continuously because we are talking
34:33about a Target here from a baseline here
34:36so it has to be continuously managed not
34:39just managed we also have to achieve the
34:42target of reducing the greenhouse gas
34:44emissions so how do we do that we have
34:47to identify those points where emissions
34:49can be reduced so for that a framework
34:52would be required we have to both
34:54maintain the quality of the management
34:56plan correct data should come in a lot
35:00of times these intelligent buildings and
35:02smart buildings will will have sensors
35:04in the beginning but gradually as the
35:06time passes by and the sensors continue
35:08to die
35:09there is no proper reporting or there is
35:12no proper monitoring whether the data
35:15that is being fed is correctly fed or it
35:18is coming from all the the sources
35:21wherever the data points are required to
35:24be managed
35:25so that is where we have to have a
35:27mechanism in place for Quality checks
35:30whether the quality of the data that is
35:32coming in is correct calibration of
35:34these sensors calibration of these
35:37meters so these uh through these quality
35:40checks we will continuously have an
35:42inflow of the of correct data so good
35:45data quality and once we have the
35:48regular data coming in and now analyzing
35:51the data to see that okay where are we
35:54really getting most of the emissions
35:56from and where can the reductions happen
35:58so basically analysis and then feedback
36:02for example we have a building space
36:05maybe an office and then we have say a
36:09type A of air conditioning system and
36:12then the information tells us that a lot
36:15of energy is actually going uh into
36:17conditioning the space so we can
36:20actually improve upon the coefficient of
36:23performance the performance of the air
36:25conditioning system and from the market
36:28we collect the data and see that from
36:31this HVAC type A if we move to HVAC type
36:35c we will be able to save a lot of
36:39energy but at the same time we also have
36:42to understand whether it works with
36:43other components equally efficiently or
36:46not and then we decide take a call get
36:49approvals arrange for finances and
36:52change it and see whether it is working
36:55efficiently or not because we will go
36:59over a lot of these Concepts but there
37:02are several components within an HVAC
37:04Central HVAC there could be a chiller
37:07there could be a condenser unit there
37:09could be pumps a lot of these things but
37:13changing just one component will it
37:15bring Energy Efficiency
37:17which it promised to do that that again
37:20we will have to look at in the numbers
37:22which we have monitored and metered over
37:24years so we will say after change
37:27changing the component and before
37:29changing the component so there is a
37:31feedback that has to be given whether it
37:34works it worked or not and then if yes
37:38going ahead with it continuously
37:40monitoring and assessing analyzing it if
37:42not then we have to give a feedback and
37:45then make necessary actions do necessary
37:47actions and make changes so this is like
37:50a continuous process which will continue
37:52to go on starting from the base here
37:54till the target year till the target has
37:56been achieved and so here we are talking
37:59about the emission reduction Target
38:01which we had simultaneously along with
38:04the Baseline identification we have to
38:06decide which will be the target year
38:08decide the Target and then how to
38:12achieve that Target so track the
38:14progress is what we have to continue
38:17geniusly Monitor and track now all this
38:20when we are doing to set a Target and
38:24achieve a certain Target this we are
38:27talking about within an organization now
38:30as an individual I can't I can't achieve
38:34this if we do not have the target set as
38:38companies goals so we have to have the
38:41entire management of the company agree
38:45on setting a certain Target and also
38:48achieving that because if you remember
38:51the risks when they were we were talking
38:54about Associated risks of climate change
38:56and Emissions we were talking about the
38:59transition costs
39:01the company has to be ready to pay the
39:03transition cost from transitioning from
39:06a high emitting company to a low
39:08emitting company because this might
39:10require changing the entire production
39:13unit or you know changing and entire
39:17Machinery unit now there the commitment
39:21from the company
39:23towards achieving the target what's
39:25fulfilling the target is required
39:27because it will require a lot of funding
39:30so the company has to agree to that and
39:32why will a company do that because
39:35together these organizations ghg
39:39protocol ISO ipcc unfccc they are
39:44actually the bodies of all these parties
39:46which are nations and nations are coming
39:48together building a consensus agreeing
39:52to limit the global warming by 1.5
39:54degrees of pre-industrial levels and all
39:56that that is what we are doing so
39:59building up that consensus so that the
40:02companies are motivated and driven to
40:04reduce their emissions and through
40:06policies Nations can drive that change
40:08too reducing setting targets for the
40:11companies to reduce the emissions and
40:13that is where the companies will be
40:15motivated it is right now voluntary
40:17gradually as the situations become grave
40:21they might become serious there could be
40:25mandates there could be compulsory
40:28targets to be achieved by each company
40:31and there before that the company itself
40:34can have targets and can work towards
40:37fulfilling them this is the overall
40:39environment that we are talking about
40:43so I will stop here and in tomorrow's
40:45lecture we will be talking about scope 1
40:482 and 3 emissions which we have kindly
40:51set us kind of set a stage here about
40:55the organizational and operational
40:57boundaries and we know
40:59how to identify where to identify direct
41:02and indirect emissions so we will look
41:04at
41:05many more examples of different
41:08companies which have already reported
41:10their emissions and how they have
41:12classified and categorized their direct
41:15and indirect emissions into scope 1 2
41:17and 3 emissions so that is what we will
41:20see in the remaining two lectures of
41:22this week so thank you very much for
41:25joining me in this lecture I hope that
41:28you are able to follow up and understand
41:31the concepts that we are discussing if
41:33you have any problems you can post your
41:36questions on the Forum and I will try to
41:39answer to the best of my ability and I
41:41just hope that you are gaining some
41:44knowledge out of these lectures thank
41:46you very much for being with me bye
41:48[Music]
42:15thank you
