You can calculate emissions using International Energy Agency (IEA) emission factors in Microsoft Sustainability Manager. Using the IEA emission factors helps your organization understand the carbon footprint of electricity generation and develop strategies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These reports can also help your organization with regulatory compliance, risk management, and cost reduction.
Sustainability Manager includes IEA factor sets for 2015-2020 and 2023.
Restrictions
The IEA factor library is available to use alongside all other emission factor libraries, and you use them similarly to how you use other factor libraries in Sustainability Manager. However, IEA license restrictions limit their use in the following ways:
While you can see the factor names, factor values aren't visible in the user interface.
Even though you can't see them, you can use factor values in calculations.
You can only see the factor values when you download them in PDF format.
You can only see the factor values that you used in calculations in your PDF document.
You must read and adhere carefully to the license agreement terms as described in the downloaded PDF with the factor values.
Prerequisites
Only an environment administrator can deploy the factors from the Microsoft Cloud Solution Center to Sustainability Manager.
Any Sustainability Manager user can use the factors in their calculations.
