Environmental Management: Energy, Emissions, and Efficiency Analysis

This assignment focuses on analyzing energy and emissions data to assess environmental impact and energy efficiency. The task involves calculating Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for Austria using provided fuel consumption data and emission factors. Scope 1 emissions are calculated from direct sources like fuel combustion, while Scope 2 emissions are calculated from purchased energy. The assignment also requires determining the energy efficiency of an IKEA store (STO155 IKEA Klagenfurt) by calculating the total energy consumed in kWh and the energy consumed per square meter of gross building area. The methodology involves careful application of emission factors, consideration of sold energy, and the use of Net CV factors where applicable. The provided solution demonstrates the steps taken to arrive at the final results, offering insights into environmental management and sustainable development practices.
