The Aii Benchmark Calculator generates weighted average values for energy use (kWh\/kg) and emissions (gCO\u2082e\/kg), which are then compared to mathematically derived performance indicator targets representing \u201cabove benchmark,\" \u201cmeets benchmark,\u201d and \u201cbelow benchmark\u201d levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facilities can use these results to understand how their operation aligns with expected performance ranges. For vertical facilities, sub-department data can be used to identify which sub-processes perform above or below the benchmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results provide an objective reference to track year-on-year progress and prioritize actions that deliver the greatest efficiency and emissions impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faq-categories":[132],"class_list":["post-28993","faq-posts","type-faq-posts","status-publish","hentry","faq-categories-carbon-and-energy-benchmark"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-posts\/28993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq-posts"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-categories?post=28993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
