602.2.1 Onsite Electricity
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Emissions associated with use of electric power shall be based on electric power excluding any renewable or recovered waste energy covered under Section 602.2.1. Emissions shall be calculated by converting the electric power used by the building at the electric utility meter or measured point of delivery, to MWHs, and multiplying by the CO2e conversion factor in Table 602.2.1 based on the EPA eGRID Sub-region in which the building is located.
