Raw building material, data coverage (% of area)

This data field is provided for comparison purposes and not a recommended KPI within the INREV Guidelines. The floor area percentage of the vehicle for all assets with raw materials used for new construction and major renovations. This is calculated based on the amount of space 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).   View full definition

Real estate assets not equipped with facilities for waste sorting and not covered by a waste recovery or recycling contract, data coverage (% of area)

This data field is provided for comparison purposes and not a recommended KPI within the INREV Guidelines. The floor area percentage of the vehicle for all assets with waste sorting facilities. This is calculated based on the amount of space 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).   View full definition

Reference framework / tool used

A Paris Agreement aligned methodology / tool that enables the stakeholders of the vehicle to assess the carbon and energy performance of buildings and portfolios and benchmark assets against a framework (e.g. CRREM pathways). An ideal methodology / tool also supports effective carbon risk management with meaningful quantitative risk indicators.   View full definition

Renewable energy data coverage (% of area)

The floor area percentage of the vehicle for all assets for which renewable energy data is provided. This is calculated based on the total area of the assets for which data is provided (i.e. the total area of assets sourced from renewable energy, incl. all sources provided above: ESG 3.2. - ESG 3.2.4, regardless of power generated) 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).   View full definition
