Construction emissions for the two proposed scenarios are based on length of construction33 and are from mobile equipment, including passenger cars, light -duty trucks, and medium and heavy-duty trucks, and construction equipment (both gasoline and diesel). Existing emissions during operations (full build out of either scenario) include natural gas (stationary equipment) for heating buildings and water, on -site generator testing, use of off - site electricity, and off -site waste management. Emissions from cooling and refrigeration systems are not accounted for in this analysis as GHGs from refrigerants are approximately less than 5 percent of the total GHG emissions of a building.31 Table 11: Construction Emissions Table 12: Operational Emissions b. GHG Assessment Describe any mitigation considered to reduce the project's GHG emissions. In both Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, the following are potential design strategies and sustainability measures that could be taken into consideration for future development to reduce emissions: 33 Total construction duration of the site is estimated to be completed over 6 to 8 construction seasons, over 30+ years. 34 Source: https://practicegreenhealth.org/sites/default/files/2019-06/PracticeGreenhealth GHG Toolkit 0.pdf 35 Emissions are categorized as either direct or indirect. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions that are released directly from properties owned or under the control of the project proposer. This includes, for example, the use of mobile equipment during construction. Scope 2 and 3 emissions are indirect emissions. Scope 2 emissions are associated with the offsite generation of purchased electricity and/or steam. Scope 3 emissions are from the offsite provision of waste management services, including land disposal (landfilling), recycling, and solid waste composting.
