Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does CimpactPro CITY solve?
It produces city-scale greenhouse gas inventory in 100% compliance with GPC standards, creates output sets aligned with CRF and completes the Local Climate Change Action Plan report on the same data model. By managing the data collection, calculation, reporting and monitoring cycle on a single platform, it increases regulatory compliance and decision quality.
Who is CITY suitable for?
At the city level, it is designed for metropolitan, provincial and district municipalities and governorships. It brings together emissions from energy, transportation, waste, water and industry within administrative boundaries; consolidates district data at metropolitan level and facilitates inter-agency coordination.
How is compatibility with GPC and CRF ensured?
The sector and sub-category structure is based on GPC; the report wizard guides the user through notation keys, scope and category checks. CRF-compliant tables and narratives are also produced from the same data structure, eliminating duplication in areas of overlap with national reporting.
What does the NCCAP report module do?
The chapter structure, indicator and action logic of the NCCAP is contained within the CITY report module. Inventory, targets and actions are managed in the same validation trail; management summary, budget framework and monitoring indicators are automatically linked to the report. It provides an organized package for parliamentary and senior management approval processes.
How does it align with climate legislation and obligations in Turkey?
Provides a technical backbone for the obligation of municipalities to prepare NCCAP within the framework of the Climate Law. As the GPC-compliant inventory and the NCCAP plan are produced in a single flow, the traceability and transparency standard expected in internal and external audits is met.
What data is required and how is it collected?
Sources such as meter and billing data, public transportation and traffic counts, waste management and water utility data, local energy mix, industrial and building stock information are used. Task assignments are made to institutions and subsidiaries; data flow is automated with file templates, APIs and integrations.
How do you ensure data quality?
Consistency and materiality checks guide category mapping and emission factor selection. Each entry is recorded with a source and date stamp, creating an audit-ready trail.
How to manage emission factors and the local energy mix?
Factors from the IPCC and recognized libraries are used; parameters such as local energy mix and grid losses are included in the model. Factors are versioned and the version used is clearly visible in reports.
How to proceed when there is missing data?
Assumptions and secondary sources are used with an open declaration and marked in accordance with the NCCAP and GPC rules. The system automatically adds these fields to the report appendix and methodology notes and creates a task for the next period.
How does it consolidate data from districts at the metropolitan scale?
Districts produce their own inventories in the same template; data is translated into a single terminology with automatic transformations at the upper scale. The metropolitan report becomes consistent with districts, comparable and ready for audit.
Can we use it for coordination at the governorate level?
Yes. Governorships can collect data from different municipalities and public institutions under one roof and produce consolidated inventory and NCCAP outputs at provincial level.
How does it provide an advantage in international funding and grant applications?
It produces dossiers based on measurable impact, traceable data and methodology consistency. Since indicators, budget and timeline are included in the NCCAP package, evaluation processes are accelerated and confidence is increased.
What does EcoPilot City provide?
It offers contextual assistance in category and factor selection, missing and unusual value warnings, and methodology suggestions in the report wizard. Q&As are archived and become a corporate knowledge base.
Is integration with SCADA, transportation and waste systems possible?
Yes, it is possible. Data flow can be established with meter, SCADA, public transportation, smart ticketing and waste management software. Unit conversions and consistency checks are applied automatically in integrations.
Can it work with geographic information systems?
It works with map layers, risk and action areas are associated with spatial analysis. Thus, spatial decisions are based on a numerical basis.
Are there public boards and communication tools?
Management and technical dashboards are provided, as well as public summary screens for citizen communication. Indicators are shared in plain language, increasing transparency and engagement.
What are the language options and report languages?
Interface and report outputs can be produced in Turkish and English. Templates are available for public summaries and management presentations.
How is training and technical support provided?
Onboarding workshops, guides and video content and ticket-based support are offered. Accelerated support plans are implemented during critical periods.
How does it share data with CORP and ESG?
Corporate inventories conducted by municipal subsidiaries on CORP can be consolidated to city scale. ESG, stakeholder communication and indicators are fed with the same data language.
How do you keep track of updates and legislative changes?
Changes to the GPC, CRF and NCCP framework are shared via notification within the software. Report templates and controls are versioned; comparison with previous periods remains consistent.
Are performance and scalability sufficient in metropolitan areas?
It works smoothly in metropolitan municipalities with its multi-unit architecture suitable for intensive data flow. Dashboards and reports are updated without delay.
How does the data retention and archive policy work?
Reports, evidence files and methodology notes are versioned and archived. Retention periods are defined in the contract; restoration procedures are documented.
How often should the inventory be updated?
A minimum annual update is recommended. Periodic or monthly monitoring can be done for critical indicators; dashboards generate early warnings.
Can we use top-down and bottom-up data together?
Yes. Upper scale data is combined with lower scale data such as meters and facilities to produce an inventory that is both inclusive and reflects local reality.
Can we use top-down and bottom-up data together in CITY?
Yes. Upper scale data is combined with lower scale data such as meters and facilities to produce an inventory that is both inclusive and reflects local reality.
How to manage users for districts and subsidiaries?
Roles and authorities are defined for each unit and subsidiary, and the division of labor is clarified through task and approval flows. Thus, data security and integrity are protected.
How does it link to budget and investment decisions?
The portfolio of actions is monitored with impact and cost indicators. Resources are directed to initiatives with the highest potential for impact; the management brief accelerates decision-making.
