From2022, the definitions of Scope 1, 2, and 3 have been changed as follows.

Scope 1: CO2 emissions associated with the use of fuel (city gas, bunker A, diesel oil) in properties excluding tenant-managed properties ("owner-managed properties").
Scope 2: CO2 emissions from the use of purchased electricity and heat (Electricity, cool water, warm water, steam, other hot water) in owner-managed properties. Emissions calculated based on tenants' energy consumption using the total floor area and tenants' exclusive area ("tenants' energy-derived CO2 emissions") are excluded from the calculation.
Scope 3: CO2 emissions from tenant energy consumption. For owner-managed properties, the total floor area and exclusive area for tenants are used to calculate tenant energy-derived CO2 emissions.

Notes on the Above Performance

1. Scope of data calculation

  • In principle, all properties owned by Nippon Building Fund Inc. (NBF) during the period from January 1 to December 31, 2022 are covered. Except as follows, above data consists of total consumption/emissions from common-use areas and tenantsʼ exclusive areas in each property and conversion to equity is not performed.
  • NBF Shinagawa Tower partly owned by NBF is a part of the property including Shinagawa Grand Central Tower, but that is excluded from the calculation.
  • Parale Mitsui Building consists of an administrative service wing partly owned by NBF, a residential wing, a retail stores wing and a parking wing, but the data is compiled for the entire building.
  • Properties with exclusive ownership areas holding 25% or less than 25%(GranTokyo South Tower, Panasonic Tokyo Shiodome Bldg, Osaki Bright Tower, Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower)are calculated for equity held by NBF.
  • Regarding gas consumption, some data such as amount of city gas consumption, contracted directly by tenants, which is difficult to calculate, is excluded.

2. Calculation period

Calculation period: January 1st through December 31st 2022

3. Calculation method

  • Energy consumption
    Energy consumption=Σ (consumption by energy type × heating value conversion factor × conversion rate for electricity)
    Calculated by using the conversion factor based on the “Act on Rationalizing Energy Use”
    Energy type: city gas, bunker A, diesel oil, Electricity, cool water, warm water, steam, other hot water
  • Greenhouse gas emissions
    Scope of greenhouse gas: Energy origin CO2
    Energy origin CO2 emissions=Σ (energy consumption × CO2 emission factor)
    The CO2 emission factors for fuel and other heat are based on the "Greenhouse Gas Emission Calculation and Reporting Manual” published by Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
    • The definitions of Scope 1, 2, and 3 are as follows.
      Scope 1: CO2 emissions associated with the use of fuel (city gas, bunker A, diesel oil) in properties excluding tenant-managed properties ("owner-managed properties").
      Scope 2: CO2 emissions from the use of purchased electricity and heat (Electricity, cool water, warm water, steam, other hot water) in owner-managed properties. Emissions calculated based on tenants' energy consumption using the total floor area and tenants' exclusive area ("tenants' energy-derived CO2 emissions") are excluded from the calculation.
      Scope 3: CO2 emissions from tenant energy consumption. For owner-managed properties, the total floor area and exclusive area for tenants are used to calculate tenant energy-derived CO2 emissions.
    • Non-fossil fuel certificate
      NBF has been sourcing its real CO2-free electricity together with a non-fossil fuel certificate.
  • Water consumption
    Total water consumption=Σ (Purchased water consumption*1 + Other water consumption*2)
    • Purchased water consists of purchased clean water and industrial water among other things.
    • Other water consists of water recycled inside the property, grand water, rainwater among other things.
  • Waste emissions
    Total waste emissions=Σ (General waste emissions + Industrial waste emissions)
    Based on the “Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act”
  • Intensity figures
    Each intensity figure = Total consumption of each / Floor space
    Floor space is the space confirmed when constructing.
    The data was calculated from properties held by NBF. However, some portion of these properties like residential areas were excluded due to difficulties in collecting the data.
    Intensity figures are corrected by annual average occupancy rate.
    Corrected intensity figures = Non-Corrected Intensity Figures / Average vacancy rate [%]
    Calculations of energy consumption intensity and CO2 emission intensity are based on the energy consumption and CO2 emissions that reflect the non-fossil fuel certificate utilization.

※Some variance come from rounding off.
