Introduction

This document was prepared in response to industry feedback and discloses the detailed scoring methodology for all indicators of the 2019 Real Estate Assessment. The Scoring Document is shared for information purposes in an effort to increase transparency around the Assessment, Methodology and Scoring processes. GRESB reserves the right to make edits to this document during the scoring and analysis period preceding the 2019 results launch.

How to read this document?

The GRESB Real Estate Scoring Document provides a visual breakdown of each indicator score included in the 2019 GRESB Real Estate Assessment. We recommend reading this document in conjunction with the Reference Guide which includes the reporting requirements of indicators.

This document includes:

MA5

3 points , MP, G

This indicator is split into three sections represented by two fractions and an "x" in the far-left column. The first section addresses the predetermined consequences of performance targets, the second covers which employee group(s) do the ESG factors apply; the final section allows is for providing evidence. The far-left column tells us that the score of the indicator is calculated as follows; (where the section and evidence scores are all numbers between 0 and 1):

Indicator score = (consequences score + 1/2 * employee groups) * evidence score * 3 points

If the respondent achieved maximum scores for both of the first and second sections, with partially accepted evidence (resulting in a multiplier of 0.5), the score is:
min(1/2 + 1/2) * 0.5 * 3 points = 1.5 points

Validation status Weight
Full points 1.0
Partial plus 0.6
Partial minus 0.3
No points 0.0

The overall portfolio coverage of building certification of this indicator is the sum of weighted coverage percentages of each reported certification scheme. The overall portfolio coverage number is benchmarked.

Benchmarks are constructed by following the steps below:

  1. Check if there are at least 12 respondents with coverage percentages greater than 0% and less than 100% within the same region. If so, make the benchmark the quartiles of the distribution of these percentages.
  2. If the step above failed, check if there are at least 12 respondents with coverage percentages greater 0% and less than 100% across regions. If so, make the benchmark the quartiles of the distribution of these percentages.
  3. If the step above failed, use static cut-off points of 25%, 50% and 75% to make the benchmark.

Referring to the three benchmark numbers as b1, b2 and b3 where b1 < b2 < b3, these numbers are used to split the coverage percentages between 0% and 100% into four intervals. The score achieved by a respondent depends on which interval their coverage percentage lands in, unless they had a coverage percentage of 0% or 100% in which case they will always receive a specfic score. The relationship between coverage percentages and scores is described in the table below:

Coverage percentage Fraction of maximum score
0%0/4
< 0%,b1 > 1/4
[ b1,b2 > 2/4
[ b2,b3 > 3/4
[ b3,100% ] 4/4

Note that the benchmark is constructed using data from both Real Estate and Developer assessment respondents.
