GRESB Group Review (with API)
This page outlines the features and functionality of the ‘GRESB Group Review (with API)’ page. The primary purpose of this page is to review and compare your Envizi data against data submitted to GRESB at the group (entity) 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:
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.
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 (with API) dashboard for more details after submitting data.
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 (with API) 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. |
