Measurabl, a sustainability data platform for real estate, has launched a free software solution that provides what it calls powerful tools that enable real estate stakeholders to measure, manage, and report on property and portfolio sustainability performance — at no cost, in perpetuity. Within four weeks of launch, new subscribers onboarded 5,000 buildings representing one billion square feet across 32 countries, the fastest adoption in the company’s 13-year history.
“The world has changed. We need to align sustainability with business value in a much more direct, measurable way,” said Matt Ellis, CEO and co-founder of Measurabl. “To do that, the real estate industry needs easier access to data, the tools to interpret it, and greater accuracy all at far lower cost. Paywalls have to come down. That’s why Measurabl made this major change to its business model and strategy. I could not be more excited at the tremendous response so far and look forward to working with everyone in the industry to grow and improve this new approach to sustainable and profitable real estate.”
Measurabl fast-tracked the launch of its free solution — part of its long-standing strategy — to answer a call to action for investment-grade data and bolster support for Energy Star, which is currently under threat of termination. To date, Energy Star Portfolio Manager (ESPM) has been foundational to sustainability progress in North America, setting the standard for compliance and decarbonization, and remains a global model for performance benchmarking.
As a long-time partner for over a decade, Measurabl committed to preserving and expanding Energy Star’s core values of free, agnostic sustainability data management at global scale.
“Measurabl’s free solution is a game-changer for property owners and managers seeking accessible tools to manage and improve sustainability performance,” said Ben Myers, SVP, Sustainability at BXP. “At a time when the future of Energy Star is uncertain, Measurabl provides a streamlined, globally scalable platform for safeguarding and analyzing key performance indicators. This move reduces barriers, enables participation and strengthens the critical link between transparency and value in real estate.”
Capabilities in the free solution allow subscribers to track energy, water, waste, and carbon (Scopes 1–3) across properties and portfolios; visualize performance trends and set reduction targets; benchmark buildings against 20 billion square feet of global properties; ensure investment-grade, audit-ready data with completeness checks; collaborate securely and share data with internal and external stakeholders and collect and store data through bidirectional sync with Energy Star Portfolio Manager and bulk uploads.
Early adopters include dozens of owners, state pension funds and their service providers.
For organizations with more advanced needs, Measurabl offers best-in-class functionality through paid upgrades to its Navigate software. Navigate simplifies utility data collection with automated syncing, enhances data quality with AI-powered gap and outlier detection, drives actionable decarbonization planning that includes built-in financial and impact modeling, and enables flexible, stakeholder-ready reporting with powerful business intelligence tools. All the while keeping pace with evolving global disclosure frameworks.
Anyone can access the free solution today.
