VM0018 Energy Efficiency and Solid Waste Diversion Activities within a Sustainable Community, v1.0

This methodology provides a framework for the quantification of emission reductions for grouped projects, where energy efficiency and solid waste diversion activities have been initiated by a Sustainable Community Service Promoter (SCSP) for an assortment of Client Facilities grouped in a Territory. This methodology requires that the SCSP uses a consolidated, Information and Communication Technology-enabled data monitoring and collection system to track project activity data. Even though the activities of Client Facilities vary, energy consumption and waste management are similar across many businesses and organizations. This methodology is meant to work with and support the provision of single window reporting and measurement provided by a third party to capture the information required to quantify emissions reductions.
