Option A is the correct answer. The ‘Common Carbon Metric’ was developed to provide a standard approach for measuring and reporting the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with building operations.

Developed by the UNEP Sustainable Buildings and Climate Initiative (SBCI), the Common Carbon Metric aims to enable consistent assessment and benchmarking of the carbon footprint of buildings globally.

This metric focuses specifically on the operational phase of buildings (energy consumption for heating, cooling, lighting, etc.), which is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. It is not designed for carbon trading by farming entities, assessing national footprints broadly, or assessing the total global fossil fuel footprint in general.
