Does the lender track energy consumption data for standing assets in its loan portfolio?

Assessment Instructions

Intent: What is the purpose of this indicator?

Energy consumption accounts for a large share of a building’s environmental footprint. Data measurement and consistent reporting of energy consumption help entities to conceptualize overall energy consumption, direct efforts to increase the energy efficiency of its loan portfolio, and reduce economic and environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel energy use.

Input: How do I complete this metric?

Participants can optionally report their loan portfolio operational and non-operational energy consumption and renewable energy usage at the asset level, using the GRESB Asset Portal.

Terminology

Data Coverage

Percentage renewable energy

The percentage of the asset’s total energy use that is sourced from renewable energy. This is calculated based on (a) the total amount of renewable energy in accordance with the stated guidance and (b) the total energy consumption of the asset.

Validation: What evidence is required?
