Topic: Energy Rating | Field Level: Vehicle | Label: er_percentage_assets_energy_rating_percentage_area | Indicator ID: ESG3.8

"Energy rating is a scheme that measures the energy efficiency performance of buildings that enable tenants and investors to identify buildings that are both environmentally friendly and have lower utility costs. Some assets may have more than one energy rating. In this case, choose the energy rating that best corresponds to the asset. The floor area percentage reported in these fields reflects the floor area of the vehicle which has an energy rating. Only include building certificates that were awarded before or during the reporting year and are still valid.
Please refer to the energy ratings listed in the Asset Level Tab (AL11.1) which is referenced to GRESB's full list of energy ratings."
 

"Note 1: Do not include expired ratings unless renewed within the reporting year.
Note 2: For non-EU markets where NZEB does not exist, apply the closest national equivalent (e.g., UK MEES, Future Homes Standard). In line with ARESI KPI 7, where EPCs are missing or outdated, managers may use EPC proxies or CRREM pathways, provided the methodology is applied consistently across the portfolio.
Note 3: In jurisdictions where EPCs are not available or mandatory, managers should apply equivalent national standards or other credible documentation (e.g., technical reports, CRREM benchmarks). Where no equivalent data is available, disclose the absence of data and state the alternative approach adopted to ensure transparency.
Note 4: Use the total supply floor area as defined in ESG1.6 (Total Area)."
