The development of commercial local area resource and emissions modelling - navigating towards new perspectives and applications

► Development of a framework that estimates GHGs and other emissions for businesses within local areas. ► The resulting framework estimates GHGs for individual and all businesses of a sector in an area. ► A new perspective is introduced when estimating 'upsteam' emissions for businesses. ► The framework and perspectives are applied for hospitality businesses in Southampton (UK). ► It is likely to be possible to develop similar frameworks in other countries and for water use and waste.
