Data Dimensions & Metrics

Learn how Energy data is structured in Tracenable’s dimensional model, with four core dimensions, and explore the full set of metrics derived from their combinations.

How Dimensions and Metrics Work

Tracenable datasets follow a dimensional model.

• Dimensions are the attributes you can use to analyze or slice the data. Each dataset is defined by one or more dimensions.

• Metrics are the most granular layer: each one represents a unique combination of dimension values that defines a specific data point.

This dimensional model provides a transparent and predictable way to structure data. It removes ambiguity in naming, ensures consistency across datasets, and makes it easier to understand how each metric is constructed.

Dimensions in the Energy Dataset

All energy data in Tracenable is organized along four core dimensions: Level, Energy Type, Flow Type, and Renewability. These dimensions define how energy is categorized and reported, and every metric in the dataset is derived from their combinations.

• Level indicates whether the metric reflects an aggregate total or a breakdown by individual energy sources. It includes the following values:

  • Total

  • Sources

• Energy Type distinguishes between the forms of energy reported. It includes the following values:

  • Total Energy (All Types)

    • Electricity

    • Heat

• Flow Type describes the pathways through which energy interacts with company operations. It includes the following values:

  • Produced

  • Purchased

  • Consumed

  • Exported

  • Reserves

  • Production Capacities

• Renewability classifies energy according to whether it is renewable or non-renewable. It includes the following values:

  • Total

    • Renewable

    • Non-renewable

Metrics in the Energy Dataset

Metrics in the energy dataset are defined by specific combinations of the four core dimensions: Level, Energy Type, Flow Type, and Renewability. This structure makes it clear whether a metric refers to a specific aspect of corporate energy use (for example, Electricity Consumed from Renewable Sources) or to a broader total (for example, Total Energy Produced).
