Reliable CSRD and Scope 2 reporting

Buildings account for 40 % of global energy consumption, and once construction is complete, energy use becomes the biggest contributor to the building’s climate and CO₂ footprint. 

• Distinguish between different types of consumption
• Meet current and upcoming reporting requirements
• Document achieved savings
• Identify the most cost-effective measures
• Streamline and automate reporting

Energy consumption and Scope 2 emissions

With the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), sustainability reporting are becoming more rigorous. Reporting must follow strict guidelines – European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) – which will become even more stringent toward 2030.

These standards also include Scope 2 and 3 emissions, requiring businesses to gain control over their entire value chain.

Scope 2 covers indirect emissions associated with purchased energy.
To comply with reporting requirements, companies must have a clear overview of how much energy they consume and how it is produced.

There are two methods for calculating these emissions:

1. Location-based method: Emissions are calculated using the average emissions factor of the electricity grid where the energy is consumed.
   
   
2. Market-based method: Emissions are calculated based on the company’s specific energy procurement agreements, such as guarantees of origin (GOs).

Robust foundation for reporting 

To document energy consumption reductions and demonstrate their contribution to climate goals, you need to link achieved results to specific measures. This requires data that is consistent over time and detailed enough to reveal cause-and-effect relationships.

We help you collect and verify your data across your portfolio, regardless of the buildings' location.

We can also provide the necessary meters to differentiate energy consumption in various parts of a building, or specific circuits or components—such as heating, ventilation, lighting, or production lines.

The data is made available via an API, allowing seamless integration with the systems and software you already use in your building.

👉 Here’s an overview of the systems already integrated with our API.

More than numbers for reports

Once you begin collecting energy data for reporting, it’s a short step toward unlocking cost savings and additional benefits.

• Improved energy efficiency: Good energy data makes it easier and more cost-effective to optimize energy use. The EU has placed energy efficiency high on the agenda, and Norway aims to cut 10 TWh from buildings. Knowing where and when energy is used in your building helps you identify unnecessary consumption and anomalies.
  
  
• Easier access to green loans and better financing terms: Reliable data makes it simpler to meet growing documentation requirements from banks and investors, who must now align with the EU Taxonomy.
  
  
• Meeting higher tenant expectations: More tenants are demanding transparency in billing and insights into their own consumption. With established sub-metering, you can meet these expectations reliably.
  
  
• Smarter operations and automation: If you want to leverage AI-powered solutions and new technologies, trustworthy data is essential. Without high-quality data, these innovations simply won’t deliver the expected results.
