Emissions Reporting: Data Scoring

How Data Scoring works

Trackunit Emissions Reporting includes a score for each asset so you always know the accuracy of your emissions data before it goes to a client, regulator, or contract submission. Follow these steps to improve your score and submit numbers you can stand behind.

Step 1

Score check

Check the Data Scoring dashboard for a full fleet score.

Step 2

Drill deeper

Drill down into asset-level scores from excellent to low.

Step 3

Take action

Take action to get a higher score by updating asset meta data or connections.

Step 4

Your winning score

Achieving an excellent score means no further action is required and you are getting the most accurate emissions estimates.

FAQs

We’ve got answers to your top questions about equipment emissions tracking

Can I include rented equipment in my emissions report?

Rented equipment can be included in your emissions report if the machine is connected through Trackunit. Emissions data is captured for all connected assets regardless of ownership. If a rented machine is not yet connected, speak to your rental provider about Trackunit connectivity. We also recommend confirming with your client upfront how rented equipment should be treated in their reporting requirement.

Machines without telematics cannot be included in a Trackunit emissions report. Trackunit can only report on connected assets. If coverage gaps are a concern, speak to Trackunit about connectivity options for your equipment

Incomplete or low-quality data can be managed using the Data Scoring dashboard, which shows the accuracy level for every asset before you export. Where scores are low, you can update asset metadata or connections to improve them. Submitting a report with a visible data score also shows your client that you understand where estimates are involved and have taken steps to improve accuracy.

Machines without CAN data can still be included in your emissions report. Trackunit's adaptive model uses machine type, operating hours, and historical data from over 3 million connected assets to generate an emissions estimate. You get a figure for every machine, not just the well-connected ones.

Whether a Trackunit report satisfies your client's emissions requirement depends on what they have requested. Trackunit reports use internationally recognized combustion factors and are exportable in Excel or CSV. We recommend reviewing your client's specification and using Trackunit's filters by site, period, asset type, and fuel type to match the format they need.
