Users can track emissions trends across different space types within properties and across portfolios. Space-based analytics support a deeper level of decarbonization planning that differentiates between landlord and tenant-based strategies and allows users to take more targeted action to reduce Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions.

Performance Metrics

Users can track and report emissions for each space type and energy type.

Meter Assignments

To enable space-based performance tracking and Scope 1,2,3 emissions reporting, energy meters must be assigned to their appropriate space types. All meters, regardless of whether they are in-metric or out-of-metric, can be assigned to space types.
Click here to learn how to assign meters to spaces.

Methodology

The methodology for calculating emissions for each space type and energy type is similar to that used for calculating whole building location-based emissions, except that all meters assigned to a space type are included in calculations, regardless of in-metric status.
Click here to view the methodology for calculating whole building location-based emissions.
Space-based emissions are reported independently for each space type and differ from Scope 1,2,3 emissions, which are reported at the whole building level despite being driven by space-based categorizations.

Property Tracking

Navigate to Property → Spaces → Emissions → ‘Emissions by Space Type’

Configure Settings

Using the buttons located at the top-right, confirm all spaces and meter assignments.

Annual Emissions by Space Type

Portfolio Tracking

Navigate to Portfolio → Spaces → Emissions

Configure Settings

Using the menu items, set the appropriate views
  • Base Period & Reporting Period
  • Full Ownership: Include only properties that were owned over the entirety of base and reporting periods.
  • Whole Building (All Spaces) Emissions, Outdoor/Exterior/Parking Emissions, or Emissions by Space Type
  • Space type
  • Emissions type
  • Units: kgCO2e, mtCO2e, lbCO2e, tCO2e

Portfolio Data Coverage

  • Above the table, a stat card displays the portfolio-level data coverage value for the selected space type and emissions type over the reporting period.
    • Emissions type determines which energy meters to include in coverage calculations.
    • Calculated by dividing the sum of Actual Area Covered values for the selected space and energy type across all properties by the sum of Max Area Covered values.
  • A warning icon is displayed if any errors are identified across data coverage entries.

Performance Table

The table below hides properties by default for which the selected space type is explicitly marked by a user as not serviced by the energy type.
  • Property Name: Each row in the table is for a different property
  • # of Meters: The number of meters of the relevant energy type assigned to the space type
  • Data Coverage: The property-level data coverage over the reporting period.
  • Base Period Data Completeness: The total data completeness over the base period across all meters of the selected emissions type assigned to the selected space type.
  • Base Period value: the header is the selected type, Total Emissions, Electricity Emissions, Fuel Emissions, or DHC Emissions. The total emissions over the base period across all meters of that type assigned to the selected space type.
  • Reporting Period Data Completeness: The total data completeness over the reporting period across all meters of the selected emissions type assigned to the selected space type.
  • Reporting Period value: the header is the selected type, Total Emissions, Electricity Emissions, Fuel Emissions, or DHC Emissions. The total emissions over the reporting period across all meters of that type assigned to the selected space type.
  • Change: The percent difference in total emissions from the base period to the reporting period.
Sort the columns of the table to quickly identify performance and data coverage outliers across all properties.
