Summary
This guidance document, titled 'Facilities Carbon Emission Data and Solarisation Permission Templates', aims to collect carbon emission data and obtain solarisation permissions from landlords or neighbors. It helps organizations meet decarbonisation targets using structured templates.
Content
These letter templates are being provided to support carbon emissions data collection and to obtain solarisation permission by landlords, neighbours, and/or service providers.
When calculating an organisation’s carbon footprint, obtaining correct data is critical. At times, organisations struggle in knowing who to ask for what type of data and what information to request exactly (e.g., data format).
In addition, when making sustainability upgrades to facilities (e.g., insulation or solarisation) such as warehouses or guesthouses, obtaining buy-in or permission from landlord, neighbours, and/or o-owners is an essential step. Asking with the right information at hand and requesting the correct type of permission can be crucial to ensuring sustainability upgrades go smoothly.
The below templates are adapted from organisations (and/or created by the WREC Coalition) that have successfully used them to obtain necessary information and/or approval. They can be used for
• Energy data collection.
• Travel data collection.
• Solarisation (rented or owned facilities).
• Insulation (rented or owned facilities).
