Factories reviewing energy and carbon evidence
An energy and carbon review needs an explanation of the operating period as well as the factor applied to consumption. Sustainability Analyst maintains the cited factor basis, while Energy Manager explains the related operating event. Together they agree which energy source and period the calculation concerns.
How Factory Energy Management is set up for you
Traceable factor sources
Record a source citation that another reviewer can locate. Keep the energy type, regional basis and effective start visible when discussing whether the factor is suitable for the selected period.
Operating context
Link the factor to the relevant event and review its actual interval. A curtailment or outage can change how the team interprets consumption during the period being assessed.
Actionable exceptions
Use the validation outcome and notes to correct a negative factor or incomplete evidence. Keep rejected entries available to the analyst responsible for resolving them before the next review.
An energy and carbon review needs an explanation of the operating period as well as the factor applied to consumption. Sustainability Analyst maintains the cited factor basis, while Energy Manager explains the related operating event. Together they agree which energy source and period the calculation concerns.
Begin with a known operating event and a source factor whose applicability the team can explain. Sustainability Analyst enters the factor and its citation; Energy Manager reviews the event and identifies the accepted consumption scope for discussion. Agree the period-matching and calculation method during reporting setup.
Rehearse an entry without a usable citation and another whose effective start is later than the consumption period. The first requires corrected evidence. The second requires an applicable factor basis before the team can use it in that calculation. Both cases help define what the reviewer needs to see at the handoff.
Use [Emission Factors](/factory-energy-management/modules/emission-factors) and [Event-linked factor review](/factory-energy-management/processes/event-linked-factor-review) to prepare the session. Expand the coverage to other energy sources only after the team can explain the original case and locate its supporting source without relying on the person who entered it.
Features to start with
Emission Factors
Keep event-linked emission factors tied to their energy type, effective date and source citation.
Metering and Readings
Give every observation a known meter, a reading time and an explicit quality assessment.
Energy Intervals
Review consumed energy within clear meter intervals before using it in cost or allocation analysis.
Roles on the team
- Admin
- Maintains application access and the site and meter foundation.
- Energy Manager
- Reviews meter evidence and authorizes the operating response and recovery review.
- Meter Operator
- Maintains meter observations and supplies the evidence Energy Manager uses to review consumption intervals.
- Sustainability Analyst
- Maintains cited emission factors and reviews their relationship to operating events.
