THE UNITE GROUP PLC Sustainability Report 2024 APPENDIX 2 continued Fuels-LfL : Like-for-like total fuel consumption Operational properties (PBSA) 2023: 56,108.4 MWh/yr As above, but including only data from sites that were in scope for the whole of 2023 and 2024. Marginal increase due to increased consumption at a number of sites and due to a heat pump failure. BTR the gas data was not in scope in the previous years, so only 2024 included. Head office is an estimate with no significant change in our premises and represents significantly less than 1% of our total consumption. 2024: 56,864.0 MWh/yr Operational properties (BTR) 2023: 0 MWh/yr 2024: 1,822.5 MWh/yr Head Offices 2023: 13.1 MWh/yr 2024: 13.1 MWh/yr Energy-Int : Building energy intensity Operational properties (PBSA) 2024: 3,085.2 kWh/bed/yr Sum total of Electricity + District Heat + Natural gas consumption per bed per year (pro rata treatment of acquisitions/ openings/ disposals). BTR is much higher in terms of energy usage due to energy being in sole control of the residents. Operational properties (BTR) 2024: 6,881.7 kWh/unit/yr Energy-Int : Building energy intensity Operational properties (PBSA) 2024: 111.5 kWh/m2/yr Sum total of Electricity + District Heat + Natural gas consumption per bed per year (pro rata treatment of acquisitions/ openings/ disposals). BTR is much higher in terms of energy usage due to energy being in sole control of the residents. Operational properties (BTR) 2024: 201.4 kWh/m2/yr Head Offices 2024: 11.1 kWh/m2/yr GHG-Dir-Abs : Total direct green house gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 1) Operational properties (PBSA) 2024: 10,578.3 metric tonnes CO2e/yr Scope 1 emissions, calculated in accordance with the GHG protocol and using natural gas consumption data and UK DEFRA/DESNZ emissions factors. Includes all emissions across the whole Unite Students portfolio including tenant energy use, heating for BTR and office heating. Operational properties (BTR) 2024: 333.3 metric tonnes CO2e/yr Head Offices 2024: 2.4 metric tonnes CO2e/yr GHG-Indir-Abs : Total indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (location-based Scope 2) Operational properties (PBSA) 2024: 31,688.6 metric tonnes CO2e/yr Scope 2 location-based emissions, calculated in accordance with the GHG protocol using grid electricity consumption data and district heating consumption data and relevant UK DEFRA/DESNZ emissions factor. Includes all emissions across the whole Unite Students portfolio including tenant energy use but not tenant electricity in BTR as this is separately metered and outside our operational control. Operational properties (BTR) 2024: 88.6 metric tonnes CO2e/yr Head Offices 2024: 23.4 metric tonnes CO2e/yr GHG-Indir-Abs : Total indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (market-based Scope 2) Operational properties (PBSA) 2024: 1,866.8 metric tonnes CO2e/yr Scope 2 market-based emissions, calculated in accordance with the GHG protocol using supplier’s contractual emissions factor, consumption data and district heating consumption data and relevant UK DEFRA/ DESNZ emissions factor. Electricity across the portfolio has zero emission factor as 100% renewable energy certificate backed. Includes all emissions across the whole Unite Students portfolio including tenant energy use but not tenant electricity in BTR as this is separately metered and outside our operational control therefore Scope 3 category 13. Operational properties (BTR) 2024: 0 metric tonnes CO2e/yr Head Offices 2024: 0 metric tonnes CO2e/yr GHG-Int : Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity (Scope 1 + location-based Scope 2) Operational properties (PBSA) 2024: 0.6 metric tonnes CO2e/bed/yr Scope 1 + location-based Scope 2 emissions, as described above divided by total number of beds in the portfolio both PBSA and BTR. Operational properties (BTR) 2024: 1.3 metric tonnes CO2e/bed/yr GHG-Int : Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity (Scope 1 + market-based Scope 2) Operational properties (PBSA) 2024: 0.2 metric tonnes CO2e/bed/yr Scope 1 + market-based Scope 2 emissions, as described above, divided by total number of beds in the portfolio both PBSA and BTR. BTR remains high as it has a large proportion of energy use as Scope 1 natural gas consumption.
