This help page describes the data report for public bodies called ‘Performance comparison with other public bodies'. This report compares your organisation's key performance indicators with those of other public bodies.
- This report comprises a header and a series of charts grouped into two sections. The first section compares your organisation's performance with that of other public bodies in the same sector. The second section compares your performance with that of all public bodies.
- Each of the charts presents data in a similar format.
- In all charts, negative values indicate progress towards the relevant target, and vice versa. Green indicates that a public body is on a general trajectory towards achieving the target. Red indicates that it is not yet on a trajectory that is consistent with meeting the target. Your organisation is shown in a darker shade, i.e. a darker green or a darker red.
- You can view the organisation name and performance indicator for each public body shown in each chart by placing your cursor over the relevant bar in the chart.
- Name of your organisation and its PSO ID.
- ‘Last year for which data reported’ indicates the most recent year for which data is shown in the report. Note that the data shown in this report is always for the most recently completed reporting cycle and therefore may not be as up to date as the data shown in other reports. The data will be updated with results for the next reporting cycle only when that reporting cycle is formally complete and SEAI publishes the relevant data.
- ‘Data status’ indicates how complete the data is for the year indicated.
This section provides a comparison of your organisation's performance with that of other public bodies in an SEAI-defined sector:
- The composition of your sector may change over time, as SEAI refines its sectoral classifications.
- Some sectors are more homogeneous than others in terms of both the scale and nature of energy consumption, and their associated CO2 emissions. Benchmarking and peer comparisons may be less meaningful in less homogeneous sectors.
- The chart presents the percentage change in each organisation's fossil CO2 since its greenhouse gas (GHG) baseline, ranked from left to right, with the best-performing public body in the sector on the left.
- The dashed line shows your organisation's 2030 fossil CO2 target, expressed as a percentage. Note that while most public bodies’ fossil CO2 targets are based on the same percentage (i.e. 51% reduction by 2030), a small number of new entrant public bodies have different target percentages.
- The boxed text on the right indicates how your organisation ranks among the organisations shown.
- Note that not all public bodies have fossil CO2 emissions, so the number of public bodies shown for your sector in this chart may differ to the number shown in the corresponding total CO2 and energy efficiency charts.
- The chart presents the percentage change in each organisation's total CO2 since its GHG baseline, ranked from left to right, with the best-performing public body in the sector on the left.
- Note that the percentage reduction required to achieve a public body’s total CO2 target is a function of the breakdown of its consumption between fossil fuels and electricity at its GHG baseline, so the percentage target is unique to each organisation. For this reason, the point at which each public body is deemed to be on track (green) or not-on-track (red) for the total CO2 target is also unique to each organisation.
- The boxed text on the right indicates how your organisation ranks among the organisations shown.
- The chart presents the percentage change in each organisation's energy performance indicator (EnPI) since its energy efficiency baseline, ranked from left to right, with the best-performing public body in the sector on the left.
- The dashed line shows your organisation's energy efficiency target, expressed as a percentage reduction in your EnPI. Note that while most public bodies’ energy efficiency targets are based on the same percentage (i.e. 50% improvement by 2030), a small number of new entrant public bodies have different target percentages.
- The boxed text on the right indicates how your organisation ranks among the organisations shown.
