37 * First, the community housing energy sources are identified and methods for their quantification on yearly basis are recorded (IPCC, 2006). These energy sources include electrical energy use, as well as supplemental energy sources such as district heating and local combustion for heating. Numerical values for the community as a whole (MWh), as well as population equivalent (MWh/person), are recorded, thus allowing for compensation for population change. All forms of energy need to be taken into account, including electricity consumption, natural gas or thermal energy for heating and cooling, and fuels. CO2 emissions related to building energy consumption are calculated as follows
