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.

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.”
