Benchmarks vs. Actual Data: Balancing Accuracy & Effort in GHG Reporting
Event Information
About this Event
Tracking GHG generating activities (such as electricity used) for your facilities can be a daunting task. While actual data is the gold standard, chasing down utility bills can be difficult and time-consuming. If you’re leasing a facility, usage data can be incomplete or hard to get, making you question its quality. On the other hand, using energy use intensity (EUI) benchmarks to approximate usage is convenient, but doesn’t reflect your company’s actual behavior. While benchmarks are useful, they aren’t actionable.
So, how do you balance these two approaches to report with confidence and still get the insights you need to drive action?
Join Scope 5 for a discussion on the limitations and benefits of using benchmarks vs. actual utility data for your GHG inventory and when to use which approach. In this webinar, we’ll provide a framework for evaluating data quality and outline an innovative data collection method that balances accuracy and effort. This approach will empower you to report with confidence and enable you to use the results of your inventory to reveal opportunities and actionable next steps.
