Maintain Shadow Space Structures {STG6-24}

The options in this submenu may be used to maintain the Shadow Space Structures used for STATS reporting

The STATS reporting year is normally one year after the current year of operation.   This means that the Space Inventory data for the current year cannot be updated until all the STATS reports for the previous year have been produced.

In order to keep the Space Inventory data for the STATS year clear of recently occurred changes to spaces; a so-called “Shadow Space Structure” is kept separately.  This Shadow Structure freezes the space inventory for the STATS reporting year, while enabling users to keep the “normal” space inventory up to date.  

Once the space inventory data has been cleared of errors and the PCS and CESM allocations and the SCU values have been updated for the current STATS year, the data can be copied (“frozen”) into the Shadow structure {SPOPS-6}

The following options in this submenu may be used to maintain this structure.

• Buildings Excluded from Tables {STG6MN-1}
  
• Maintain Shadow Space Inventory {STG6MN-2}

• Maintain Shadow Building Codes / Detail {STG6MN-3}
  
• Validate Shadow Structure for SAPSE {STG6MN-4}
  
• Validate Shadow Data/ Calculate SCU {STG6MN-5}
