2.1 Major Energy Consuming Systems
Major energy consuming systems at 145 Wellington are as follows, as per an ASHRAE Level II Energy Audit performed by EPL in 2019.
Lighting
Base building lighting in the tenant spaces and common hallways consists of approximately 1,400 dual lamp 4’ T8 18W fixtures with LED tubes and electronic ballasts, approximately 350 40W LED troffers, and approximately 360 7‐9W LED pot lights.
Ventilation and Air Distribution Systems
Fresh air at 145 Wellington Street West is a provided by a single make‐up air (MUA) unit rated at 20 hp and 20,000 cfm.
Fresh air is delivered to compartment units on each floor via the fresh air shaft, where it is mixed with return air from the floor.
Heating Systems
Primary heating is provided to 145 Wellington Street West by a boiler plant consisting of three modulating RBI boilers. Two boilers have a rated input capacity of 2,000 MBH and nameplate thermal efficiencies of 85%, while the third boiler is rated at 2,500 and 87%. The boilers are connected in parallel and each supplies hot water to the primary hot water loop.
Cooling Systems
Cooling is provided to 145 Wellington by two York centrifugal chillers, using R123 refrigerant. One chiller is rated at 193 tons while the other is rated at 247 tons.
3.0 INVENTORY DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
3.1 Organizational Boundaries
The organizational boundaries for this project were set using the operational control approach, using the criteria as defined by the GHG Protocol:
Operational Control. A company has operational control over an operation if the former or one of its subsidiaries (see Table 1 for definitions of financial accounting categories) has the full authority to introduce and implement its operating policies at the operation. This criterion is consistent with the current accounting and reporting practice of many companies that report on emissions from facilities, which they operate (i.e., for which they hold the operating license). It is expected that except in very rare circumstances, if the company or one of its subsidiaries is the operator of a facility, it will have the full authority to introduce and implement its operating policies and thus has operational control.
In the case of 145 Wellington, H&R is considered to have operational control over building systems, though it is noted that building tenants may also influence how the building is operated.
3.2 Operational Boundaries
This report includes Direct (Scope 1), and Energy Indirect (Scope 2) emissions at 145 Wellington, as follows:
Emission Sources by Scope
No combustion of biomass or GHG removals occur at 145 Wellington. GHG sinks are not applicable to this inventory.
Direct/Indirect Scope Emission Source End Use
Direct 1 Natural Gas Space heating, domestic water heating
Direct 1 Refrigerants Space cooling
Direct 1 Diesel Emergency backup generation
Energy Indirect 2 Electricity Lighting, HVAC, space cooling, plug load, etc.
4.0 QUANTIFICATION OF GHG EMISSIONS
Measuring GHG emissions directly is cost prohibitive for a project of this size. Therefore, in keeping with industry best practices, GHG emissions have been quantified using the following formula for each GHG source identified in Section 3.2:
GHG Emissions = Activity Data (consumption) X Emission Factor
4.1 Activity Data
The following subsections describe the sources of the activity data used.
Electricity
Electricity is purchased for 145 Wellington from Toronto Hydro via a single metered electricity service.
Building level electricity consumption was obtained directly from the utility bills. Billed electricity consumption is detailed in Appendix A.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is purchased for 145 Wellington from Enbridge Gas Distribution (Enbridge) via a single metered gas service. Enbridge does not read this meter every month meaning that some invoices are based on estimated readings. Building level natural gas consumption was therefore obtained via interval data obtained from Enbridge’s meter instead of from utility bills. Interval natural gas consumption is detailed in Appendix A.
Diesel Fuel
Diesel fuel is consumed by a single emergency generator at 145 Wellington. Fuel consumption was estimated based on generator fuel purchases from August 2017 and April 2020. The daily consumption was calculated and used to calculate the annual consumption.
Invoices from actual diesel purchases were used to calculate annual consumption in this report where previously, runtime data and assumed efficiencies were used to estimate diesel use. The decision to use actual fuel purchases was made to have a more accurate representation of diesel use.
The following table details the attributes of the diesel generators and resulting calculated fuel consumption for the Performance Period.
Diesel Activity Data Estimate
Fuel consumption was assumed to be equal in the Base Year and Performance Period.
Refrigerants
Refrigerants are found in 2 chillers at 145 Wellington, as well as 3 supplementary units (2‐5 tons), all of which are maintained regularly. Actual leakage rates are not available. In the case of the chillers, maintenance contracts are in place guaranteeing leakage rates of less than 0.5%. For all other units, leakage rates have been estimated based of 2% of the charge capacity, as per LEED EB credit EA7.
The following table summarizes refrigerant activity data for 145 Wellington:
Cooling Equipment Containing Refrigerants
Refrigerant leakage was assumed to be equal in the Base Year and Performance Period.
4.2 GHG Emission Factors and Global Warming Potentials (GWPs)
The following table provides the Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) for the types of emissions reported for 145 Wellington. The GWP values are from the IPCC 4th Assessment Report, to be consistent with the GWP values used in the most recent Canadian National Inventory Report. The base year is calculated using the same GWP values to allow for a more accurate comparison of the base and performance years.

Reporting Information No. CSA Reporting Requirement Declaration
A Description of the reporting organization. H&R REIT (“The Company”) owns and
manages 145 Wellington Street. The Company has registered the building in the Canada Green Building Council’s LEED‐EB Program. To meet the requirements of LEED‐EB Energy and Atmosphere credit 6: Emission Reduction Reporting, The Company is submitting this GHG Inventory report to the CSA’s CleanStart Registry.
B Person responsible. Mike McDowell, Property Manager, H&R REIT C Reporting period covered. March 1, 2020 – February 28, 2021
D Documentation of organizational boundary. Operational Control Approach E Direct GHG emissions, quantified separately
for each GHG, in tonnes of CO2e.
See section 5.2.2
F A description of how CO2 emissions from the combustion of biomass are treated in the GHG inventory.
Not applicable.
G If quantified, GHG removals, quantified in tonnes of CO2e.
Not applicable.
H Explanation for the exclusion of any GHG sources or sinks from quantifications.
This inventory includes all direct and energy indirect GHG emissions sources, as well as some other indirect sources. GHG sinks are not applicable to this inventory.
I Energy indirect GHG emissions associated with the generation of imported electricity,

recalculation of the base year or other historical GHG inventory.
Assessment Report consistent with the most recent Canadian National Inventory Report.
L Reference to, or description of,
quantification methodologies including reasons for their selection.
Calculations were derived by multiplying GHG activity data and GHG emission factors.
M Explanation of any change to quantification methodologies previously used.
Actual diesel invoices were used to calculate annual consumption in this report. Previously, runtime data and assumed efficiencies were used to estimate diesel use.
N Reference to, or documentation of, GHG emission or removal factors used.
See section 4.2
O Description of the impact of uncertainties on the accuracy of the GHG emissions and removals data.
Calculation uncertainties include error
margins in the emission factors and measured activity data. Emission factors are from the most local and credible source available at the time of reporting. Activity data is based on interval data, utility bills and invoices received by EPL with the exception of refrigerant data which relies on an assumed leakage rate to calculate associated emissions.
P A statement that the GHG report has been prepared in accordance with ISO Standard 14064‐1:2019.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the following standard: CAN/CSA‐ISO 14064‐1‐06‐Part 1: Specification with Guidance at the Organization Level for Quantification and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals.
