What if electricity or fuel was zero?
Zero is valid if there was genuinely no activity for that source in the reporting month. Keep the month clean and report the actual activity that occurred.
Support
Get clear before you submit a reporting month.
Use this page to reduce hesitation, answer the most common input questions, and complete one clean reporting month with more confidence.
The simplest path is practical: choose one reporting month, enter the actual activity for that month, and use factors that match the selected method and exact fuel type used.
Quick start
What you usually need before you begin
- Choose one exact reporting month for each submission.
- Use the employee count that best represents that month.
- Enter total electricity used in the reporting month and the factor that matches the selected method.
- Enter total fuel used, the exact fuel type, and the matching fuel factor.
Common questions
These are the most important points to get right if you want a clean, trustworthy monthly result without unnecessary hesitation.
Why do the factors need to match?
Electricity factors should match the selected reporting method, and fuel factors should match the exact fuel used. Matching factors improves result trust and explainability.
Why does one month matter?
The first saved month becomes your baseline. Later months make comparisons, trends, and management insight more useful.
