For information about converting the values from one unit of measure to another compatible unit of measure, see Conversion Factors.

Here are the calculated fields:

  • Scope 3 Emissions (tCO2e) (Scope3EmissionsInTco2e)

    If GroundTravelEmssnFctr exists then

    • If Distance AND DistanceUnit are valid

      • If Expense Type = "Limousine" or "Taxi", then Scope3EmissionsInTco2e = Distance (converted to miles) × GroundTravelEmssnFctr.Taxi Emissions (kg CO2e/Distance Unit) (converted to miles if needed) / 1000 + Supplemental Scope 3 Emissions
      • If Expense Type = "Subway/Train/Trolley - Cross State/Country" or "Subway/Train/Trolley - Local Public Transit", then Scope3EmissionsInTco2e = Distance (converted to miles) × GroundTravelEmssnFctr.Train Emissions (kg CO2e/Distance Unit) (converted to miles if needed) / 1000 + Supplemental Scope 3 Emissions
    • Else If Cost-Based Calculations (when Distance or DistanceUnit is NOT valid)
