RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SkyFoundry (https://www.skyfoundry.com), a leading developer of analytics software for IoT device, equipment and sensor data, today introduced a new release of its Greenhouse Gas (GhG) App, a SkySpark® data analytics application for calculating, tracking and reporting greenhouse gas performance.

The GhG App, introduced in early 2021 as a standard SkySpark feature, integrates with online data resources to make it easy to quickly configure location-specific emission factors to accurately turn energy consumption data into GhG equivalents. These equivalents are then available for use in visualizations, reports, KPI's and analytics. The GhG App presents greenhouse gas performance in a wide range of engineering and "societal" metrics, i.e., miles driven, trees planted, smartphones charged, and many more.

Following quick and positive response to the initial rollout of the GhG App, the new release of the App captures valuable input from SkyFoundry's worldwide user community, which includes leading energy and sustainability professionals. Key new features include:

• GhG values calculated and visualized with the same resolution as your meter data, whether that is 15-minute interval data or more frequent meter readings. This is especially important as more and more facilities adopt use of multi-source energy including renewable resources.
• GhG emissions can now be visualized as the total for each emission source or meter in addition to each site providing more flexibility to analyze emission data.
• Users can now select a baseline of a previous month or previous year to analyze emission performance.
• A new built-in view makes it easy to display equivalent emission values of the supported societal metrics in a card format.
• Some predefined models have been added to the Greenhouse Gas Service based on published data from the UK Government and British Columbia Provincial Government.

"Corporate and government interest and support for sustainability and 'ESG'-related policies [Environmental Social and Governance] 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 most annual reports by public companies. Key elements of the 'E' portion include energy efficiency initiatives, and greenhouse gas emission tracking and reporting. The ability to calculate, track and report greenhouse gas metrics using the SkySpark GhG App adds a valuable tool to SkySpark's continually growing suite of energy-focused applications," said John Petze, Co-Founder of SkyFoundry.

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.
