Insights Hub: Environmental Baseline Metric Definitions

This can be used as an initial evaluation of overall performance in facilities. Strategic decisions should include other metrics as the score alone does not provide the specific insight necessary to identify solutions. The same principle holds for section scores. 

average(total_score)

• The average of all total scores.

average(total_ems_score)

• The average of all EMS section scores.

average(total_energy_score)

• The average of all energy section scores.

average(total_water_score)

• The average of all water section scores.

average(total_wastewater_score)

• The average of all wastewater section scores.

average(total_air_score)

• The average of all air section scores.

average(total_waste_score)

• The average of all waste section scores.

average(total_chemicals_score)

• The average of all chemicals section scores.

Use this to understand the amount of time the facility is dedicating to on-site visits by auditors. A higher number indicates a greater likelihood of audit fatigue.

average(sipauditlength)

Use this to understand if there is a potential for audit fatigue and if there are potential avenues for reducing duplicative work.

average(sipauditnumber)

Use this metric to help you identify facilities with anomalous operating conditions. A very high number indicates a potential risk of overwork. This number should also influence how impact data like water and energy use are interpreted.
