Add Emission Factor and Energy Content Factor to Monthly Data Summary Report

At present the Monthly Data Summary Report displays a factor value (kg CO2-e/Unit) for each account style. For auditability it would be helpful to split this column into separate Emission Factor and Energy Content Factor columns. This may be an option within the report filters, as IBM customers may be reliant on the monthly data summary maintaining its current form.

 

In my case the client reports to NGER and would use the MDS report when audited to show the individual accounts that feed into each NGER activity. Having both the energy content factor and emissions factor displayed would help tie the report together and reduce the need to provide a factors report and further explanation.
