Edit Property – Property Use Detail 23

Tip: Defining Property Use Types Designate your property’s “Primary Function” –Should best reflect the activity in the majority of your property to receive accurate metrics –More than 80 property types listed Add additional property types only if needed –Only add a type if the use is substantially different from the property’s primary function –Enter as few uses as needed to reflect current operations in the property –Exception: need to account for vacant space (> 10% of gross floor area) as a separate property use type 24

Example: Adding a Separate Use Type for Vacant Space in a Building 25 Scenario Office Building with Gross Floor Area = 100,000 sq. ft. At time of property set-up, 10,000 sq. ft. are vacant. Click “Add” to add another use type (“Office”) to account for vacant space.

Example: Adding a Separate Use Type for Vacant Space in a Building 26 Enter a separate use representing the combined floor area of the vacant space, and enter use details: Weekly Operating Hours = 0 Number of Workers on Main Shift = 0 Number of Computers = 0

Example: Adding a Separate Use Type for Vacant Space in a Building 27

28 Example of a property accurately set up, accounting for vacant space, as well as parking Example: Adding a Separate Use Type for Vacant Space in a Building

Gross Floor Area Alert Gross Floor Area originally listed as 100,000 sq. ft. for this property When “Vacant Space” was added, the Gross Floor Area went up to 110,000 sq. ft. Need to edit main “Building Use” to equal 90,000 sq. ft, to keep total floor area consistent 29

Correcting or updating property use details 30

Correct vs. Update 31 If you need to make edits to your property use details, you can either “Correct Mistakes” or “Update with New Information” “Correct Mistakes” changes a value that was entered in error –No historical record of the old value will be kept or factored into your metrics “Update with New Information” tracks a value that is changing over time –Enter date as of which the new value took effect, so that the tool can account for this

Edit Property – Correct Mistakes 32 Scenario Entered office property use gross floor area as 100,000 sq. ft. when it should have been 1,000,000 sq. ft.

Edit Property – Correct Mistakes 33
