RICHMOND, Va., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SkyFoundry (https://www.skyfoundry.com), a leading developer of analytics software for IoT device, equipment and sensor data, today introduced a new SkySpark® data analytics application for calculating, tracking and reporting greenhouse gas performance.
The new SkySpark Greenhouse Gas (GhG) App allows greenhouse gas emissions to be easily calculated from energy consumption data. The SkySpark GhG App provides the ability to look up emission-source data, available online from government agencies, to simplify the configuration of location-specific emission factors in order to generate the most accurate calculations. These online resources provide greenhouse gas conversion factors based on location or fuel type. Examples of online resources that have been integrated include, the US Environmental Protection Agency Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGrid) for individual eGrid subregions (searchable via zip code or individual states/territories), and the US Environmental Protection Agency Emission Factors Hub for Natural Gas and Propane.
If a source for a specific location or fuel type is not available via an online resource, an emission source and conversion factors can be defined manually. Once an emission source is created, it is easily associated with the device that measures consumption data, such as an electric meter or gas meter.
"Corporate and government support for sustainability and Environmental Social and Governance, or ESG-related policies, is growing across all segments of the Commercial Real Estate industry. ESG issues are increasingly seen by shareholders as an indicator of a company's future success and are now a core component of annual reports of most public companies," said John Petze, Co-Founder and COO of SkyFoundry. "Key elements of the E portion are directly related to energy use in the built environment, and greenhouse gas tracking and reporting is now a fundamental requirement."
The SkySpark GhG App provides built-in, auto-generated views to display calculated GhG emissions based on the emission source and allows GhG emissions to be displayed for an individual or group of sites. Views can be easily customized to change how the GhG information is presented, such as showing individual GhG emissions or the Carbon Dioxide Equivalent or a range of "societal factors" such as Passenger Vehicles Driven Per Year, Gallons of Gasoline Consumed, Propane Cylinders Used For Home BBQs, Number Of Urban Tree Seedlings Grown For 10 Years, or Number Of Smartphones Charged.
The GhG App is a fully integrated SkySpark application, providing the same navigation options, presentation formats and reporting features provided by the entire suite of SkySpark Apps.
