This page outlines the features and functionality of the GRESB Group Review. The primary purpose of this page is to review and compare your Envizi data against data submitted to GRESB at the group level. You can also use this page to submit asset data in bulk via API. This page does not allow users to make changes to configuration or location settings. To update the content of this page, see the pages referenced in the ‘Related Articles’ section below.

The GRESB Group Review contains 4 main features:

  1. A summary of the matching data between GRESB and Envizi for the current period. This is displayed per asset and section through a heatmap and percentage.

  2. Submit asset data in bulk to GRESB using multi-select. All asset data will be sent to GRESB for each asset selected. Note that the GRESB API has a rate limit of 10 API requests per minute. If more than 10 are submitted then the first 10 will be accepted and the additional requests will be rejected. See the GRESB Asset Summary for more details after submitting data.

  3. Disabling fields in bulk. The ‘Disable Fields’ button will allow users to disable fields by Section, Field, Location and period (current, previous or both). Note that once fields have been disabled, they can only be re-enabled through the GRESB Asset Summary dashboard.

Grid

Field name

Description

Location

This field displays the name of the location.

Active Parent GRESB Group

The parent group that will be used for API submission. The parent group shall match up with a reporting entity in your GRESB web portal. If the location belongs to multiple groups in Envizi, and among these Groups there are more than one group being flagged as ‘Active’, then the Group that has been set to ‘Active’ most recently will be used (based on time stamp of the flag change).

Asset ID

GRESB Asset ID of the location as recorded in loation attribute. This needs to be reviewed if the location is a joint venture location and belongs to multiple groups, as the Asset ID in GRESB would be different per reporting entity.

Asset ID needs to be reviewed and changed accordingly before API submission to GRESB, based on what reporting entity (Active Parent GRESB Group) this location belongs to.

Asset Characteristics

Percentage of matching fields between Envizi and GRESB divided by total non-blank fields in Envizi and GRESB for the current period for this section.

Darker heat map colours indicate a large amount of data does not match.

Data Completeness

Percentage of matching fields between Envizi and GRESB divided by total non-blank fields in Envizi and GRESB for the current period for all sections.

Disabled

Shows a count of the number of disabled fields for the asset. This figure includes both current and previous period fields.

Sync

4 possible settings:

  • API connection active - Asset ID is verified and API connection is functioning.

  • Asset ID not found - Either create the asset in GRESB, or if already created then extract the asset ID from GRESB and record this in the Asset Characteristics page.

  • Incorrect Asset ID - This can happen when an asset is a part of a joint venture. In this case the asset ID may need to be updated to reflect the current reporting group. You can verify which group the asset is reporting against by viewing the top row in the GRESB Asset Summary dashboard.

  • Error - if another error is encountered from the GRESB API, the specific error message will be displayed.

Last API Status

This field will show the status of the last API call that was made with your login. If more than 10 requests were made in under 1 minute then this column will show which assets did not get sent to GRESB.

Submitting data for multiple assets at once

To use this feature, select multiple rows and click the button ‘Submit to GRESB’. Note that all fields in all sections will be submitted. As mentioned in earlier section, only a maximum of 10 Assets can be submitted in bulk within a minute.

Navigate to the GRESB Asset Summary by clicking on the location name to view API status and any validations returned.

Disabling fields in bulk

Click on the ‘Disable Fields’ button to disable fields in bulk within the group. There are 4 picklists available.

  • Section - all 8 sections are present, defaulted to all sections.

  • Fields - default to all, multi-select available, dependent on selection made in the 'section' field above.

  • Period - 3 options: All periods, Previous Period, Current Period.

  • Locations - default to all locations and multi-select option is available.
