ESG SDDS Wiring-Guide

The floor area percentage of all assets of the vehicle for which actual data is provided for operational energy consumption (sum of landlord and tenant controlled). The term 'actual' refers to data that is not estimated. This is calculated based on the amount of space for which actual data is provided divided by total supply area. Recommended unit of measure for data coverage is by area (ESG1.6.1: sqm/sqf), investment managers may identify and report KPIs on value (AUM basis). Please also consider the availability of data for the period of time for which assets are owned by the vehicle (ref: GRESB).
 

To calculate actual energy data coverage, divide the total floor area for which actual operational energy data is available (sum of landlord- and tenant-controlled areas) by the total supply floor area (ESG1.6), then multiply by 100.

Include only areas with complete actual data for all main energy types applicable to that area (e.g. electricity, fuels, district heating and cooling). Estimated or modelled data should not be included; these must instead be reported under ESG3.1.3 or ESG3.1.3.1.

Note 1: For greater granularity, especially where not all main energy types are consistently covered across the portfolio, you may additionally report separate coverage percentages by energy type:
    •  Electricity coverage = (floor area with electricity data / total floor area) [ESG4.1.12]
    •  Fuels coverage = (floor area with fuel data / total floor area) [ESG4.1.3]
    •  District heating/cooling coverage = (floor area with DH&C data / total floor area) [ESG4.1.7]
Note 2: The headline KPI for actual energy data coverage must remain based on complete data across all applicable energy types. This ensures comparability and avoids double-counting.
Note 3: Use the total supply floor area as defined in ESG1.6 Total Area. This ensures consistency across all indicators that use floor area as a denominator (ref: GRESB, SBTi, CRREM).
Note 4: Disclose significant data gaps and their causes (e.g. lack of sub-metering, tenant non-response, restricted data access) to ensure transparency.
