The RCP Job Carbon Report is the output document restoration contractors provide to commercial clients for their Scope 3 ESG disclosures. It is designed to be completed at job close-out using data captured during the job — not reconstructed after the fact, not requiring an external consultant. The template below defines each field and provides example values from a Category 2, Class 3 water damage job at a commercial office building.
Section 1: Job Identification
Contractor name | Job ID | Client name | Property address | Job type | Damage classification | Affected area (sq ft) | Job start date | Job completion date | Reporting standard: “Restoration Carbon Protocol v1.0, GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain Standard”
Example: Acme Restoration LLC | JOB-2026-04847 | Westfield Properties Inc. | 1200 Commerce Blvd, Sacramento CA | Water Damage Mitigation | Category 2, Class 3 | 2,400 sq ft | 2026-03-14 | 2026-03-22
Section 2: Emissions Summary
Total Job Emissions: 1.84 tCO2e | Category 1 (Materials): 0.09 tCO2e | Category 4 (Transportation): 0.89 tCO2e | Category 5 (Waste): 0.70 tCO2e | Category 12 (Demolished materials): 0.16 tCO2e
Section 3: Category 4 — Transportation Calculation
2 light trucks × 47 mi round trip × 4 trips = 376 vehicle-miles → 376 × 0.503 kg CO2e/mi = 189 kg CO2e
1 equipment trailer × 47 mi × 2 trips = 94 vehicle-miles → 94 × 1.612 kg CO2e/mi = 151 kg CO2e
1 dump truck to landfill × 22 mi × 1 trip → 22 × 2.25 kg CO2e/mi = 50 kg CO2e
Equipment power source: building electrical supply (Scope 2 — not included)
Category 4 Subtotal: 390 kg CO2e = 0.39 tCO2e
Section 4: Category 1 — Materials Calculation
Antimicrobial treatment: 12 liters × 2.8 kg CO2e/liter = 34 kg CO2e
Disposable PPE (18 Tyvek, 36 glove pairs, 24 N95): estimated 45 kg CO2e (standard rate Cat 2)
Containment materials: 40m poly sheeting → 40 × 0.22 kg CO2e/m = 9 kg CO2e
Category 1 Subtotal: 88 kg CO2e = 0.09 tCO2e
Section 5: Category 5 — Waste Calculation
C&D debris (wet drywall, flooring): 1.8 tons → 1.8 × 0.16 tCO2e/ton = 0.29 tCO2e
Disposable PPE and consumables: 0.08 tons → 0.08 × 0.25 tCO2e/ton = 0.02 tCO2e
Contaminated water: 0 liters (Cat 2, extracted water discharged to building drain — property owner’s municipal utility)
Category 5 Subtotal: 0.31 tCO2e
Section 6: Category 12 — Demolished Materials
Wet drywall removed: 1.0 ton → 1.0 × 0.16 tCO2e/ton = 0.16 tCO2e
Category 12 Subtotal: 0.16 tCO2e
Section 7: Data Quality Notes
PPE consumption estimated from standard consumption rate for Category 2, Class 3 commercial job (RCP Table 3A) — actual units not tracked separately on this job. Vehicle mileage from dispatch records. Waste weight from disposal facility receipt dated 2026-03-22. All other data points from primary job records.
Is the RCP Job Carbon Report a legal document?
No. It is a technical emissions report for ESG disclosure purposes, similar to an energy audit report. It does not constitute a regulatory filing or create legal liability beyond standard professional services obligations.
Should the report be signed by the contractor?
A signature with preparer name and date adds credibility and creates a clear chain of responsibility. Not required by the RCP standard but recommended for clients with third-party verified disclosures.
Can the report be provided as a structured data file rather than PDF?
Yes — a CSV or JSON file with the same fields is acceptable and preferred by clients aggregating data across many vendor reports. The RCP will publish a standard data schema for digital delivery as the standard matures.
