Measurabl Benchmarks for Energy and Carbon Emissions

This technical report outlines the methodology for calculating Measurabl's benchmarks for Energy Usage Intensity (EUI) and Carbon Emissions Intensity (CEI) as part of Measurabl's data products. It provides a detailed explanation of the definitions and calculations involved in determining EUI and CEI, including the importance of data quality and the processes for aggregating energy and carbon emissions data. The report describes how benchmarking cohorts are formed based on specific thresholds for building and customer counts, ensuring data anonymity and meaningful metrics. Additionally, it details the benchmarking prioritization hierarchy used when data availability is limited, allowing for flexibility in property type and location granularity. The report also discusses the metrics available for benchmarking, including median intensity and quartiles, which represent the distribution of EUI and CEI within each cohort. Overall, the document serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding Measurabl's benchmarking framework and its application in evaluating building sustainability performance.
