START FROM SCRATCH, PLAN FROM THE END
Free templates, by Richard Harvie
Version: November 2026

This folder holds every template from Appendix A of the book as a Word
file you can edit, a carbon baseline workbook for Excel, and the 11 AI
prompts from Appendix B as a PDF.

WHERE TO START
- New in the role? Open "A24 Your first week" and "A19 Terms of reference".
- Ready to measure? Use "A01 Carbon baseline workbook.xlsx". It adds up
  the figures for you, using the UK Government's 2026 conversion factors,
  and includes the book's worked example (Fallowmere Services) so you
  can see a finished version.
- Each Word template says which chapter explains how to use it.

USING THEM
Each template is a starting point rather than a form to fill in word for
word. Change the headings, add rows and make it fit your organisation.
You may copy and adapt them for use in your own organisation.

KEEP YOUR FACTORS UP TO DATE
The Government publishes new conversion factors every June. Check the
Factors sheet in the workbook against the latest set on GOV.UK before
each year's calculation, and report your energy use (kWh and litres)
alongside your emissions.

The latest versions are always on the book's website.
