GoGreen – Data Integration & Insights Overview

GoGreen is designed to integrate sustainability data from multiple sources and convert it into clear, actionable environmental insights. The platform supports standardized data inputs while remaining flexible enough to work with different suppliers, systems, and levels of data maturity.

Data can be integrated via email uploads (Excel/CSV), API, or SFTP, depending on the customer setup and available data sources. Supported formats include hourly, daily, or monthly values, depending on the data category.

This article provides a high-level overview of the supported data types and how they are used within GoGreen.
For detailed technical requirements, refer to the GoGreen Data Specification and Integration Partners articles.

Supported data types

Energies
Energy data covers building heat and lighting consumption, including electricity, gas, district heating, solar, oil, and cooling. CO₂ emissions are calculated using either supplier-provided or country-specific CO₂ factors, depending on availability.

Water
Water represents the total water usage of the building. No CO₂ emissions are calculated for water consumption, but it is tracked for usage monitoring and efficiency insights.

Food waste
Food waste data is generated in kitchens and can be provided by waste suppliers or food waste measurement solutions (e.g. smart scales). CO₂ factors are applied based on supplier or country-specific values.

General waste
General waste represents waste generated in the building by fraction. CO₂ emissions are calculated using supplier or country-specific factors, and disposal methods can be provided when required.

Towels & linen
Towels and linen data is based on units delivered or purchased by the supplier and used for room operations. Other textile fractions are excluded. CO₂ factors are applied per unit.

Chemicals
Chemical usage reflects the kilograms of cleaning chemicals purchased or delivered for room cleaning. No CO₂ emissions are calculated for chemicals, but usage is tracked for operational and sustainability insights. For clients using suppliers such as Ecolab or Diversey, chemical integrations are recommended. For smaller suppliers, capturing this data may be more challenging.

From data to insights

By standardizing data inputs across properties and suppliers, GoGreen transforms operational data into consistent sustainability insights. This enables transparent environmental reporting, comparison across properties and time periods, identification of efficiency opportunities, and support for sustainability targets and initiatives.

GoGreen’s integration approach ensures that sustainability data is both practical to collect and meaningful to analyze, supporting informed decision-making at property and group level.
