Data types

In IBM® Envizi ESG Suite, a data type determines the fields that are compiled into monthly data, the primary unit of measure, the scope of the data, and the factors that are applied to the data.

Data types form the core structure that ties together account styles and emissions factors. A data type defines the following items:

• The category of data
• The primary unit of the data
• The fields that are compiled into monthly data
• The scope of the data
