- What happens if my certification or rating is not assigned to an area?
- All certifications that are not assigned to a Space or whole site are indicated on the Certification & Ratings tab. There is a 'Space' column on the table of certifications which highlights any certifications that have not been assigned to a specific space or Whole Site. The ft² column also captures the floor area that is associated with that certification, depending on its assignment. This way, it’s easy to track which certifications and ratings have and have not been assigned.
- How does assigning certifications to spaces affect my GRESB calculations?
- GRESB will grab the floor area of the spaces that the certification/rating is assigned to automatically. If the certification is assigned to multiple spaces, GRESB will add up the total floor area of the selected spaces together.
- What if I have a site that has the same certification type at the same time, but for two separate spaces?
- Measurabl allows you to add multiple certifications of the same type to the same site for the same period, as long as they’re assigned to different spaces. For instance, you can have two LEED Interior Design and Construction silver certifications at the same time, one assigned to ‘Whole Site’, and one assigned to ‘Office’.
