Review Scope 2 basicsScope 2 for office buildings
Make office electricity data usable for Scope 2 certificate sourcing.
Office-heavy companies often need to handle leased spaces, landlord data, utility contracts, and distributed locations before they can create a credible renewable electricity sourcing plan.

Buying criteria
Office Scope 2 work often starts with data access before procurement.
Office portfolios can include owned buildings, leased offices, co-working spaces, and facilities where the company does not directly control utility contracts. That makes electricity data and boundary decisions important before sourcing starts.
The IEA tracks buildings as a major energy-use and emissions area. For office-heavy organizations, the practical Scope 2 question is how to turn location data and electricity estimates into a certificate sourcing plan that can be reviewed.
GreenPowerHub helps teams move from country grouping and electricity requirements into certificate coverage, RFQ, market context, and trade workflow.
Office portfolio RFQ criteria
- Owned, leased, serviced, and shared office locations
- Country grouping and annual electricity consumption
- Data source quality and landlord or utility documentation
- Certificate market fit by location
- Production year, consumption year, and delivery expectations
- Internal review needs for sustainability, procurement, and finance

Office building claims depend on data boundaries and contract context.
For leased or shared spaces, electricity data and control can be less direct than in owned facilities. Teams should clarify the reporting boundary, data source, and contractual context before deciding how to source certificates.
A market-based Scope 2 result can use contractual instruments when they fit the relevant guidance, but buyer teams should not treat any certificate purchase as automatically resolving landlord, utility, or disclosure questions.
GreenPowerHub supports the certificate market workflow once the office footprint and sourcing requirements are clear enough to request comparable offers.
FAQ
Office building Scope 2 questions
Office data
Why is Scope 2 difficult for office portfolios?
Office portfolios often include leased, shared, and serviced locations where electricity data, utility contracts, and control differ by site.
Can certificates cover leased office electricity?
Certificates can support market-based Scope 2 reporting when they fit the relevant guidance and the company's reporting boundary. Leased-space claims should be reviewed against data, contract, and disclosure requirements.
GreenPowerHub workflow
How does GreenPowerHub help office-heavy companies?
GreenPowerHub helps teams check certificate market coverage, structure RFQs, compare supplier responses, and keep trade workflow and documentation steps visible.
Do office teams need exact meter data before sourcing?
The data need depends on the reporting framework and internal review process. Better facility and country data makes certificate sourcing requirements clearer, but final claims should be reviewed by the reporting owner.
