GRESB Tagged Accounts - Usage % - Link to both Energy and GHG emissions

In Envizi, we have tagged accounts with GRESB tags. There are some where we do not want to report to GRESB - the guidance we received from our Envizi project team was to tag these with the GRESB tag, and Usage % = 0 to be excluded.

This excludes the energy from reporting, but DOES NOT exclude the associated Emissions. This misrepresents linked data and should be corrected.

    Thanks for raising the request. The reason for GHG not supporting Whole Building GRESB tag is due to the fact that GRESB GHG questions are not broken down by Whole/Base/Tenant sections like the Energy/Water/Waste questions do. GHG questions are broken down by either Whole Building or Outdoor Areas, so tags had been provided for tagging Outdoor Areas only.

    We are looking into adding the support of Whole Building tags to GHG questions, to support the use case of exclusion and will provide an update here once it progresses.

    Financial Impact - this one is probably $5,000 – it’s about 2 weeks extra analyst and then manager review. The context that I would add to this is that energy and GHG data are linked and clearly accessible in Envizi so it’s really surprising that the energy would update to GRESB accurately with the GRESB tags but the emissions wouldn’t.
