Number of Employees (2015) 100 (same as baseline year)
3.0 GHG INVENTORY DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
3.1 Organizational Boundaries
CAN/CSA-ISO Standard 14064-1:06 Section 4.1 allows an organization to use a
different consolidation methodology where particular arrangements are defined by
a GHG program or legal contract. The consolidation methodology followed for this
GHG report is from LEED EM Credit EAc6, which is consistent with previous GHG
inventories. Specifically, the building is considered as a physical boundary, and
the emissions will be consolidated to that boundary.
3.2 Operational Boundaries
The GHG emissions from sources falling within the organizational boundary
articulated in Section 3.1 and within the operational control of the owner are
categorized as follows:

3.2.3 Other Energy Indirect GHG Emissions (Scope 3)
As per CAN/CSA-ISO Standard 14064-1:06, no other Energy Indirect GHG
emissions (Scope 3) are required to be included in a GHG inventory. The tenant
uses natural gas to fuel their commercial stove and oven. No other Scope 3
emissions activities were reported within the baseline or performance year. Scope
3 emissions are not within the scope of this inventory.
3.2.4 Removal Projects
No removal projects were completed during the prefomrance period.
3.3 Quantification of GHG Emissions and Removals
3.3.1 Quantification Steps and Exclusions
Measuring GHG emissions directly is impractical for this building.
As such, the quantification methodology selected was to use activity data
multiplied by GHG emission or removal factors, as per CAN/CSA-ISO Standard
14064-1-06 Section 4.3.6. This methodology was selected as it was deemed to
minimize uncertainty and yield accurate, consistent and reproducible results.
6
2016 GHG Inventory Report | 55 Patterson Road
MMM Group Limited, Jan, 2017
Activity data was collected from site natural gas and electricity bills. Emission
factors from Canada’s most recent annual National Inventory Report were used.
All calculated emissions in this report were obtained through the use of emission
factors. Energy consumption totals were multiplied by emission factors to get
emissions in tonnes of applicable GHG (e.g. CO2, CH4, and N2O). The emission
factors used are in Appendix A. There are no exclusions.
3.3.2 Calculations without using Emission Factors
Refrigerants are classified directly as greenhouse gases; therefore no emission
factors were required. Any refrigerant emissions were multiplied by the
appropriate GWP value shown in the table in Appendix A.
3.3.3 Selection of Quantification Methodologies
All quantification of emissions in this report is completed by multiplying
consumption data by the emission factors listed in Appendix A. The table below
lists the source of the consumption data for each emission source.

3.3.4 Selection and Collection of GHG Activity Data
A complete list of activity data for all emissions sources is available in Appendix B.
This data were used to calculate the consumption falling within the performance
(reporting) period.
3.3.5 Selection of Development or GHG Emission or Removal Factors
Emission factors were selected by the quantifier to conform to Canadian standard
inventory reporting, wherever possible. Emission factors were obtained from the
7

most recent National Inventory Report. There were no removals reported for this
period.
4.0 GHG INVENTORY COMPONENTS
4.1 GHG Emissions and Removals
The table in section 1 Results shows the total GHG emissions for all activity types
in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). A full list of GHG emissions by
source is provided in Appendix B.
There were no removals reported for the performance period.
4.2 Organizational Activities to Reduce GHG Emissions or Increase GHG
Removals
No reduction or removal enhancement projects, or directed actions, were
undertaken or completed during the reporting period.
4.3 Assessing and Reducing Uncertainty
4.3.1 Uncertainties
Estimation uncertainty arises any time greenhouse gas emissions are quantified.
For this inventory, uncertainty is associated with quantifying the parameters used
as inputs (e.g. activity data, emission factors, or other parameters).
The level of uncertainty is outlined in Table 7.

2015 GHG Inventory Report | 111 Richmond
MMM Group Limited, Oct, 2016
Table C1. Reporting Information
CSA Reporting Requirement Declaration
A Description of the reporting organization. Powerstream is the owner of 55 Patterson Road. Powerstream has registered the building in the Canada Green Building Council’s LEED-EB Program and is targeting LEED-EB Energy and Atmosphere credit 6: Emission Reduction Reporting. As part of that initiative, they are reporting 55 Patterson Road’s greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions with the CSA Registry. 55 Patterson Road emits GHG’s through their use of natural gas, diesel, refrigerants, and electricity. The total gross floor area of the building is 7706 m2, and the building occupancy is approximately 100 people.
B Person responsible. Dennis Cuzzolino, Powerstream
C Reporting period covered December 1, 2015 to November 30, 2016
D Documentation of organizational boundary “Physical facility approach” defined by the LEED-EB Canada Energy and Atmosphere credit 6 Emissions Reduction Reporting Program; this is a different consolidation methodology than typically defined, but is still within CSA/ISO14064-1 guidelines.
E Direct GHG emissions, quantified separately for each GHG, in tonnes of CO2e
See Table 3.
F A description of how CO2 emissions from the combustion of biomass are treated in the GHG inventory
Not applicable to this inventory.
G If quantified, GHG removals, quantified in tonnes of CO2e
Not applicable to this inventory.
H Explanation for the exclusion of any GHG sources or sinks from quantifications
This inventory includes all Energy Indirect GHG emissions. GHG sinks are not applicable to this inventory
I Energy Indirect GHG emissions associated with the generation of imported electricity, heat or steam, quantified separately in tonnes of CO2e.
See Table 5.
J The historical base year selected and the base-year GHG inventory.
Base year (Baseline): December 1, 2014 to November 30, 2015. This baseline was chosen due to the performance period requirements of the Canada Green Building Council LEED program. The baseline was determined in this report. See Appendix B for the baseline GHG emission summary.
K Explanation of any change to the base year or other historical GHG data, and any recalculation of the base year or other historical GHG inventory
Not applicable to this inventory.
L Reference to, or description of, quantification methodologies including reasons for their selection.
Calculations are based on GHG activity data multiplied by GHG emission factors for natural gas, diesel and electricity. Refrigerants are classified directly as greenhouse gases; therefore no emission factors were required. Any refrigerant emissions are multiplied by the appropriate GWP value shown in the table in Appendix A.
M Explanation of any change to quantification methodologies previously used.
Not applicable to this inventory.
N Reference to, or documentation of, GHG emission or removal factors used.
See Appendix A.
O Description of the impact of uncertainties on the accuracy of the GHG emissions and removals data.
Uncertainties in calculations include error margins in emissions factors and measured activity data. Emission factors were determined by the most local and credible source available at the time of reporting. Activity data is based on natural gas, diesel and electricity utility bills consumption received from Powerstream. Refrigerant data is based on total refrigerant charge received by Powerstream Based on these sources, the level of uncertainty is assumed to be fair.
