What is operational data and reference data?
Operational data is the record of activities that cause emissions. Examples of operational data include:
Reference data is the emission factors that are used to convert operational data into actual emissions. Microsoft Sustainability Manager comes pre-loaded with emission factor libraries from environmental bodies such as EPA and IPACC. Custom libraries can also be added.
To calculate your emissions, Microsoft Sustainability Manager uses calculation models. These models combine your operational data with reference data to generate emission values. The emission values form the basis of the analytics and reporting that is available in Microsoft Sustainability Manager.
Microsoft Sustainability Manager's analytics feature is a key area of the platform, allowing users to slice and dice their data to meet their specific needs. This can be especially helpful for organizations with complex organizational structures or multiple lines of business.
One of the key features of the analytics feature is the ability to roll up emission reporting from departments and divisions into the parent organization. This is useful for organizations that want to track their overall sustainability performance, as well as the performance of individual business units.
Another key feature of the analytics feature is the ability to categorize operational data according to industry standards, such as Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This allows organizations to compare their performance to other organizations in their industry and to identify areas where they can improve.
In addition to its standard features, the analytics feature is also customizable. This means that organizations can tailor the platform to meet their specific needs. For example, organizations can create custom reports or dashboards to track specific metrics or to compare their performance to specific benchmarks.
Overall, the analytics feature in Microsoft Sustainability Manager is a powerful tool that can help organizations to get insights from their sustainability data. By using the analytics feature, organizations can identify areas where they can improve their sustainability performance and reduce their environmental impact.
