Actual energy data coverage (% of area) - Vehicle Level

Topic: Energy Consumption | Field Level: Vehicle | Label: ec_actual_energy_data_coverage_percentage_area | Indicator ID: ESG3.1.2

Industry Mapping: GRESB Real Estate Standard and Reference Guide (2025), EPRA sBPR Guidelines 2024, GRI Standards 2021, NCREIF PREA ESG KPIs (2022), RICS ESG Data List for Real Estate Valuations (2024)

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 (eg 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, you may additionally report separate coverage percentages by energy type: Electricity coverage (ESG4.1.12); Fuels coverage (ESG4.1.3); District heating/cooling coverage (ESG4.1.7).

Note 2: The headline KPI for actual energy data coverage must remain based on complete data across all applicable energy types.

Note 3: Disclose significant data gaps and their causes (eg lack of sub-metering, tenant non-response, restricted data access) to ensure transparency.

Note 4: For the treatment of acquisitions and disposals, see ESG1.6.
