CRREM Integration, Data Gap Filling, and Performance Improvements

The Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) is an initiative to help building owners align their decarbonization plans with science-based emissions targets. Starting with this release, customers will be able to build decarbonization scenarios in Carbon Signal and export the information in CRREM’s Carbon Risk Assessment Tool.

We’ve also made a number of significant improvements to Carbon Signal’s modeling capabilities, with customers now able to automatically fill gaps in their utility data. This feature will be enabled for all new models - older models will require a recalibration.

Lastly, customers should now experience much faster loading times for model results and scenarios, especially for large portfolios.

Data Validation, Activity Tracking, and Model Cancellation

In this release, we enhanced the experience of uploading data with the spreadsheet template, by adding more data validation within the spreadsheet to prevent input errors and an additional validation step after uploading the spreadsheet. This data validation step will alert users if there are any buildings with missing information, inaccurate information, or building names that match existing records in the Portfolio.

Also, users now have the ability to track their usage of compute resources. In Team Settings, the Credit Usage graph displays how many credits the team has consumed over the last 12 months, 30 days, or 7 days.

Finally, we added the ability to cancel models. If you’ve made a mistake editing data, or uploading the wrong information, you can now cancel the model to prevent unwanted credit usage and to make it easier to recover from mistakes. We also fixed several bugs related to calculating the median from a probability distribution when measuring energy and carbon savings from each intervention. This will help improve the accuracy and reliability of our predictions.

Improved Stability

We fixed a number of bugs to improve the stability of the application and made it easier for users to see the progress of model simulations. Specific enhancements include:

Added Pusher so that users see progress bars on the Building Data and Scenarios pages as models are simulated.

Changed how savings are displayed when an intervention results in an increase in energy use or emissions. We now show zero savings instead of negative values.

Fixed issues with the Building Data table, improving the way pagination works and adding the ability to sort and filter by different metrics.

Automatically send SSO login details to users when SSO is enabled for their accounts.

New Admin Capabilities

We’ve streamlined the way permissions are handled on Carbon Signal at the Team and Portfolio levels. At the Team level, there are three types of permissions (Owner, Admin, and Member) that control which users have access to Team administrative functions. The Portfolio level permissions offer more specific control over which users have access to certain Portfolios.

This release also contains a number of important bug fixes including:

Fixed bugs that were blocking the ability to edit energy data from within the application.

Added axis labels on all graphs and tooltips on terms that require explanation.

Incorporated copy to explain Performance Characterization, Scenarios, and Model Results.

Connected the application to a stable version (v2.0.0) of the engine.
