Integrating individual building models into carbon projections for large portfolios

This paper examines the creation of a new simulation tool designed to integrate the results of energy consumption models into the carbon projections for large portfolios of buildings. This is accomplished through the creation of the Individual Building Worksheet (IBW), which was designed to integrate with calculators and projections derived from the CACP Carbon Calculator. The IBW compliments a carbon calculator to determine how changes to individual buildings would impact the carbon footprint of a portfolio and creates a framework for the integration of detailed energy models into scenarios of future development for the portfolio.
