Footnotes

1. kg/CO2e figures are based on the DEFRA 2012 GHG conversion factors (our CMP v1 used the 2009 GHG conversion factors)

2. Full-time equivalent figures are shown as kg/CO2e per person. Staff headcount for Transport Scotland across our estate was 404 in 2010/11, 412 in 2011/12 and 371 in 2012/13. The FTE data for travel is based on the headcount across our estate whilst the FTE data for energy and waste covers only staff based in Buchanan House.

3. Financial information is inclusive of VAT except for business travel which is zero-rated. Our energy finance figure represents the total cost of 'utilities' including gas, electricity and water from Buchanan House only. Our waste finance figure represents the total service charge for the floor area occupied by Transport Scotland at Buchanan House, which includes waste management, pest control and window cleaning. The finances for waste are calculated over and annual year through the DTZ service charge document.

4. See the notes section for clarity on the calculation, and interpretation, of the commute travel data.

5. As a single gas meter exists for Buchanan House, a proxy floor area calculation of 30% is used to estimate our own gas consumption as a proportion of the overall building gas consumption.

6. kg/CO2e figures are based on the DEFRA 2012 GHG conversion factors
