What is the purpose of a property?
Arc now offers properties and projects. A property is a physical space or location, such as a building, a portion of a building, a city, a neighborhood, or a campus. The intent of the property in Arc is to be a singular place where all of the attributes and achievements of that property can be stored over time.
The property is where you can:
- Upload and manage building characteristics (such as address and gross floor area)
- Manage consumption and performance data (for energy, water, waste, and more)
- Conduct transportation and occupant satisfaction surveys
The property will track its sustainability journey over time, serving as a place where historical data can be stored and analyzed, including certifications and certificates. Properties can also be combined into portfolios to aggregate, verify, and improve performance.
Can a property include multiple buildings?
Yes! A property can include any physical space or location, such as a building, a portion of a building, a city, a neighborhood, or a campus.
Properties are currently very flexible and can represent any place with an address. Over time, we will roll out improvements to support a variety of use cases to meaningfully link and group properties.
Does the information entered about a property have to align with a LEED, SITES, or WELL certification boundary?
When setting up a property, ideally it should be aligned with your team's current and/or future project goals. For example, if the property will include LEED project(s), then the project area and performance data should align with the certifying project's LEED project boundary.
Where can I find Arc tools?
Arc tools such as Advanced Scoring, Arc Performance Certificates, and Climate Risk Assessments can be found in a property.
