Abstract
This chapter aims to address the research methodology and operationalized measureables. Survey and case study research method are adopted in this study. Overall, the measureables were divided into two categories: one that was related to identify the non-value adding activities and to rank the relative importance of these activities; and the other category that was related to calculate the carbon emissions embedded in these activities. It should be noted that some of the measureables in the latter category should be carefully selected due to the calculation principle that was explained in Sect. 2.4.3. If the data required for a Tier 2 approach calculation (using country-specific emission factors) could be obtained, it was unnecessary to collect the data required for a Tier 1 approach calculation (using world-wide average emission factors).
