Site Metrics are standardised metrics which are used to normalise site performance reporting metric name and units across all sites to allow for consistency of reporting and ease of comparison. Site Metrics are populated with data from Site Attributes which have been tagged with a Site Metric Tag. For example, the attribute which represents the Main Elec Incomer would be tagged with the “Main Electric Energy” tag. When the system finds the attribute with this tag, it uses that datasource to populate the Main Electric Energy Metric for that site.
Simple Site Metrics
Simple Site Metrics are metrics that are directly read from attributes, such as energy consumption or carbon emissions. In order for Simple Site Metrics to be displayed in an Enterprise Dashboard, a single attribute needs to be tagged with the tag for that metric. Site Metrics are all displayed in a specific unit (e.g. kWh for Energy) but the attribute does not need to be in that unit, so long as the quantity is correct, the system will automatically convert it to the correct display unit for the Site Metric.
The following is a table of the available simple site metrics, and the details of the attribute they can read from. Sites do not need to have an attribute for all of these metrics, just the metrics they wish to display in the Enterprise Dashboards.
Simple Metric/Tag Name | Attribute Quantity | Description |
Main Electric Energy | Energy | A single attribute representing the total main electricity incomer energy for the site. |
Main Gas Energy | Energy | A single attribute representing the total main gas incomer energy for the site. |
Other Fuel Energy | Energy | A single attribute representing the energy from off other sources coming into the site. |
Total Energy | Energy | The sum of the above three energies (needs to be manually created as an attribute for now). |
Product In | Mass | The total of product brought into the site |
Model Electricity Energy | Energy | A single attribute representing the model electrical energy use for the whole site. |
Model Gas Energy | Energy | A single attribute representing the model gas energy use for the whole site. |
Product Out | Mass | A single attribute representing the total product out of the site in terms of mass |
Product Out | Volume | A single attribute representing the total product out of the site in terms of volume |
Floor Area | Area | A single attribute representing the total product out of the site in terms of area |
Scope 1 Emissions | Mass | A single attribute representing the total mass of Scope 1 emissions from the site. |
Scope 2 Emissions | Mass | A single attribute representing the total mass of Scope 2 emissions from the site. |
Calculated Site Metrics
Calculated Site Metrics are site metrics which are automatically calculated using Simple Site Metrics. This means that in order for a Calculated Site Metric to appear in Enterprise Dashboards, all of its associated Simple Site Metrics need to be tagged.
The following is a table of the available calculated site metrics, and the details of what they represent.
Calculated Metric Name | Calculation (Expressed in Simple Metrics) | Description |
Main Electric Energy / Product Out | Main Electric Energy / Product Out | Input intensity KPI based on Total Electrical Energy divided by total product out for the site. |
Main Gas Energy / Product Out | Main Gas Energy / Product Out | Input intensity KPI based on Total Gas Energy divided by total product out for the site. |
Other Fuel Energy Energy / Product Out | Other Fuel Energy Energy / Product Out | Input intensity KPI based on Total Other Fuel Energy divided by total product out for the site. |
Total Energy Energy / Product Out | Total Energy Energy / Product Out | Input intensity KPI based on Total Energy divided by total product out for the site. |
Main Electric Energy / Model Electricity Energy | Main Electric Energy / Model Electricity Energy | Operational Drift KPI based on the ratio of main electricity energy to modelled electricity energy |
Main Gas Energy / Model Gas Energy | Main Gas Energy / Model Gas Energy | Operational Drift KPI based on the ratio of main gas energy to modelled gas energy |
Scope 1 & 2 Emissions | Scope 1 Emissions + 2 Emissions | The sum of the Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions Metrics. |
