This is a widely accepted method of carbon accounting developed by Greenhouse Gas Protocol. In a nutshell:

Scope 1 covers direct emissions (e.g. fuel burned on-site)

Scope 2 covers energy used

From a building perspective in Carbon Title, Scopes 1 & 2 are considered operational carbon emissions.

Scope 3 covers indirect emissions, including embodied carbon from materials used in a building and the process of construction.
