This article will discuss the methodology behind Measurabl's Listed Data product. To see more about what Listed Data is, check out the FAQs.
Company data and the assets owned by a company are sourced via the S&P SNL Real Estate Property Dataset (SNL). This dataset contains underlying portfolio assets of public real estate companies in North America, Europe, Asia and emerging markets. Measurabl leverages SNL to map assets to companies and for address data, specifically, the property address, property type, floor area, and year built, to generate energy and carbon estimates, as well as procuring certification and ordinance data.
35% of the properties from the SNL data set leveraged for the Listed product do not contain floor area values. In these instances, Measurabl leverages its proprietary Floor Area Estimates Model to supplement data where floor area is missing as a property feature. A majority of the assets from SNL also do not contain year built. In these instances, the year built is left out of any request for energy and carbon estimates, as well as certifications and ordinances, as the impact on accuracy is immaterial.
Measurabl use the Green Building Information Gateway (GBIG) and the BREEAM API to source certification data. Ordinance data is sourced and updated by Measurabl, drawing on data published by the IMT, EPA, and U.S. municipalities.
