Many property managers and investors believe they are on top of their ESG data. They track electricity and heating, export some reports, and assume compliance is covered. But in today’s landscape, partial tracking and scattered systems no longer meet the mark.
Missing utilities mean missing points
If you are only tracking electricity or gas, you are leaving out key parts of your environmental footprint. Certifications like GRESB and BREEAM evaluate not just what you track but how completely you track it. That includes water, waste, heating, and solar across the entire portfolio. If one utility is missing, your data coverage drops, and with it, your score.
Scattered systems lower confidence
Manual ESG reporting across spreadsheets, portals, and emails creates blind spots. Even if all utilities are technically measured, pulling them from different sources leads to inconsistencies, delays, and errors. Both GRESB and BREEAM favor integrated, centralized systems that automatically collect and unify all utility data. Without that visibility, investor confidence drops, and so does operational clarity.
Certifications require full centralised data
GRESB allocates nearly 20 percent of its score to utility data coverage. It expects complete, year round consumption data, not estimates or incomplete snapshots. BREEAM credits like Ene 19 and Wat 11 require that at least 90 percent of utility usage is metered and tracked through one cohesive system. Partial or fragmented data is no longer enough.
