Spaces

All meters, regardless of whether they are in-metric or out-of-metric, can be assigned to space types to support space-based performance reporting and Scope 1,2,3 emissions reporting. This enables users to track data coverage and performance by space type, as well as to understand differences between base building (landlord) and tenant-controlled spaces.

Space Assignments Types

Meters can be assigned to the space types in the table below or excluded from all space-based analysis by selecting Exclude from Analysis. A few notes about Outdoor / Exterior Areas / Parking meter assignments:
  • District Heating/Cooling cannot be assigned to Outdoor / Exterior Areas / Parking. Electricity, fuel, and water can.
  • The Assign Meters sheet does not block an in-metric meter from an outdoor space. On GRESB meter assignments, when reporting level is Whole Building, in-metric meters are hidden from the outdoor section.

Assigning Meters to Spaces

There are multiple ways to assign meters to spaces.
  • Option #1: Navigate to Property → Meters
    • Edit a meter
    • Select Space Assignment from the dropdown in the sidebar and save
  • Option #2: Navigate to Property → Spaces
    • Click on the Assign Meters button.
    • In the Meter Space Assignments sidebar:
      • Select the space type using the dropdown next to each meter
        For whole building meters, select Exclude from Analysis to preclude double counting them and submeters when calculating space-based performance metrics.
