Operational carbon data coverage (% of area) - Asset Level

The floor area percentage of the asset for which data is available, aggregated per space and energy type. The floor area percentage reported in these fields reflects the floor area of the asset for which Absolute Consumption data is collected from. Recommended unit of measure for data coverage is by area, investment managers may identify and report KPIs on value (AUM basis). This is likely to be equal to total operational energy data coverage (AL2.7). Please also consider the availability of data for the period of time for which assets are owned by the vehicle (ref: GRESB).   View full definition

Operational carbon data coverage (% of area) - Vehicle Level

The floor area percentage of the vehicle for all assets for which data is available, aggregated per space and energy type. 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). This is likely to be equal to total operational energy data coverage (ESG3.1.5) Please also consider the availability of data for the period of time for which assets are owned by the vehicle (ref: GRESB).

Operational carbon intensity - location based (tonne CO2e/area/yr) - Asset Level

The operational location-based carbon intensity of the asset for which both actual and estimated data is provided for total operational carbon emissions and it is weighted by floor area. Recommended unit of measure for data coverage is by area, investment managers may identify and report KPIs on value (AUM basis). Location-based method quantifies Scope 2 GHG emissions based on average energy generation emission factors for defined locations, including local, subnational, or national boundaries (ref: GHG Protocol, “Scope 2 Guidance”, Glossary, 2015).   View full definition

Operational carbon intensity - location based (tonne CO2e/area/yr) - Vehicle Level

The operational location-based carbon intensity of the vehicle for all assets for which both actual and estimated data is provided for total operational carbon emissions and it is weighted by floor area.

Ownership share (%)

The ownership share is defined as the actual contractual ownership share of the asset (%). All data should be provided based on the ownership share of the asset and NOT as if 100% owned. Aligned with INREV SDDS 4.0 ALD1.16   View full definition

Ownership type

Freehold vs leasehold. If part of asset are leasehold and part is freehold it should be defined based on the share of Market Rent (MR) if any type is more than 50%. Aligned with INREV SDDS 4.0 ALD1.17   View full definition
