Data Quality Tracking

Abisko provides comprehensive dashboards and reports that highlight data quality and completeness for every meter, property, group, and portfolio.
  • Meter-level: Gaps, data completeness (%), overlaps, monthly & annual jumps
  • Property level: Issues summary, data completeness (%), data coverage (%), monthly & annual jumps, high & low values
  • Portfolio-level: Issues summary, data completeness (%), data coverage (%), annual jumps
Data quality insights are included with every reported performance metric to provide users with a clear and immediate assessment of reporting readiness.
Behind the data quality metrics is a comprehensive library of advanced algorithms that leverage a multi-tiered, automated analytical process. This robust, flexible system enables Abisko to flag and communicate issues in real-time at the right level for each user.

Data Quality Calculations

The following general algorithm is used for calculating data quality metrics at the meter, property and portfolio levels:
1

Daily values are derived from each utility meter entry

Analytics break down every single utility meter entry into individual days.
2

A time-based window is applied to data for each individual meter

Data from each meter is included based on the meter’s activation dates and the property’s ownership period, ensuring that only relevant data is used in reporting.
3

Individual daily gaps and overlaps are calculated for each meter

Every missing and overlapping day (gaps & overlaps) between all entries for each meter is identified and indexed over all time.
4

Monthly values for consumption, gaps, and overlaps are calculated for each meter

Individual daily values are aggregated to provide monthly consumption, gap and overlap totals for each calendar month to normalize staggered utility data entries.
5

Secondary data quality metrics are calculated for each meter

Normalized consumption and gap values are analyzed to determine monthly data completeness (%) and monthly jumps.
6

Rolling 12-month period data is aggregated for each meter

Monthly normalized values are aggregated to provide annual consumption and data completeness (%) values for every reporting period.
7

Property-level data quality metrics are calculated.

Monthly and annual consumption and data quality values are aggregated across all meters of a property by utility type and subtype (e.g. Total Energy, Electricity, Fuel, DHC, Direct Emissions Indirect Emissions, Water, Waste, etc.)
8

Values are further rolled up into portfolio-level insights.

Monthly and annual consumption and data quality values are aggregated across all properties in a portfolio.
