🎯 Benchmarks and Performance Comparison
The Benchmarks feature in Reduzer is essential for comparing your project's performance against industry targets and regulatory standards. It allows you to instantly assess your building's environmental impact within the context of required goals.
⚙️ Benchmarks and Scheme Integration
Benchmarks are reference values for climate performance that are managed through the chosen certification scheme (e.g., TEK17, FutureBuilt).
Scheme Selection: Every version in Reduzer must be associated with a scheme. When selected, it automatically pulls the relevant benchmark data and calculation methodologies.
Benchmark Visibility: Any subscheme that has a "meter" icon next to its name has a recorded benchmark value available for comparison. If a benchmark doesn't immediately appear, you may need to refresh the calculation within the project to load the values.
✅ Automatic Compliance Adjustment (TEK17)
No Manual Work Needed
Reduzer automatically handles scheme-specific compliance requirements, eliminating the need for manual data adjustments.
For the TEK17 scheme, all generic data entries automatically receive a +25% uplift on their A1-A3 emissions. This is applied to the following data sources:
- "Reduzer average values"
- "Custom study"
- "LCA database"
- "Public data"
- "Scientific article"
You can view how this adjustment is applied by selecting the "info" button next to the scheme in your settings.
🚀 Development and Future Customization
Reduzer is continually working to expand the flexibility of the benchmarking feature.
Portfolio Comparison: A Portfolio view is currently under development to make it easier to save and compare multiple project scenarios against each other.
Custom Benchmarks: In the future, users will be able to create their own custom benchmarks in addition to the standards provided by official schemes.
Known Limitation (Energy)
For schemes like FutureBuilt, which require non-linear emission graphs for operational energy (B6), some existing Reduzer entries currently use static figures from sources like "Klimaveilederen". This is a known area for future improvement.
