Registering a site
What counts as a physical site? Does an ordinary office count? Our organisation has several sites. Do we register each one? Our site is already on the register. What do we need to do? Reporting energy use
Who submits the energy report: the organisation or the site? Our equipment room is in a shared building with one meter. How do we report electricity? How is power usage effectiveness calculated? What counts as a low-carbon source? What happens if a report is late? We have submitted a figure that turns out to be wrong. How do we correct it? Emissions and monitoring
Do we have to measure our emissions? Our site has a monitoring station. Does that replace the quarterly report? Can we use our supplier's own emission factor instead of the standard factor? Incidents
How do I report an incident at a site? We are not sure which class an incident falls into. What should we do? Is a planned generator test an incident? Will an incident at our site be published? If your question is not answered here, write to contact@environment.gov.vin . See also Register of sites , How to report , Emissions and monitoring and Incidents .
