Environmental data on buildings has become the focus of many organizations Sustainability reports as they follow Triple Bottom Line Accounting (environmental, social and economic). Manhattan refers users to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) which defines how environmental categories should be reported. One category, energy includes four indicators which can be stored in Manhattan: direct energy use by primary source, indirect energy use, initiatives to use renewable energy and to increase energy efficiency, energy consumption footprint (Manhattan has a carbon footprint calculator included in the application). LEED and Energy Star ratings can also be tracked for a real estate portfolio.
EHS details can be associated with any asset or location and shown specifically on a floor plan with any relevant detailed information. In addition, exit routes and doors can be identified on the floor plans and disaster plans can be attached to building records. |
