Measurabl, the world’s most widely adopted sustainability data platform for real estate, today announced initial results from the launch of its new free software solution. While advanced features remain available through Measurabl’s suite of premium products, the free solution provides access to 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 1 billion square feet across 32 countries – the fastest adoption in the company’s 13-year history.
Momentum around the free solution comes at a pivotal time. From the rollback of EU disclosure rules to shifts in U.S. climate policy, including the potential elimination of ENERGY STAR, the real estate industry is facing profound disruption and uncertainty. At the same time, investors and capital markets have shifted their focus to timely, performance-based sustainability metrics to inform real estate transactions, such as leasing, lending, securitization, index, appraisal and due diligence.
“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 is committed to preserving and expanding ENERGY STAR’s core values of free, agnostic sustainability data management–now at global scale. Measurabl is a six-time ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year and one of the top rated platforms integrated with ESPM, (#2-ranked partner by certifications and #4 by buildings benchmarked). The company has extensive expertise around ESPM’s data model, workflows, and integrations and is committed to offering a path forward for the industry.
“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 20B SF, 110K+ global properties to uncover insights and stay competitive.
- Ensure investment-grade, audit-ready data with completeness checks, to stay compliant with local and global requirements.
- Collaborate securely and share data with internal and external stakeholders
- Collect and store data seamlessly through bidirectional sync with Energy Star Portfolio Manager and bulk uploads
Early adopters include dozens of owners, state pension funds, and their service providers.
